For as long as he can remember, Andy has loved plants and landscaping. He pursued this passion by obtaining a Landscape Design Degree from Ohio State University in 1985. He later became a Certified Arborist, recognized by the International Society of Arboriculture. Andy has been a resident of the Chagrin Valley his entire life and is responsible for the design and installation of many of the wonderful landscapes in this area. He also plays an active volunteer role in his community.

Kathleen co-founded Ohio Valley Group with Andy in the first years of their marriage. She has been instrumental in crafting the business and the financial strategy that has allowed it to emerge as a leading landscape company in northeastern Ohio.
