OUR STORY
IT'S 1995...
My first job is doing landscape installation, I’m making $23,000 a year, I’m getting married, and I’m looking for a way to make more money when... opportunity strikes. A friend gives me a gift of $1,000.

So I take $300 of it and buy 1 gallon pots, dirt and liners and I grow 600 jasmine plants. Then I sell them to the landscaper I’m working for. That nets me about $1,000 and teaches me the first great lesson I learned in business: You can make more money if you use your hands and your head.
I really enjoy the process of growing plants and watching them thrive, so I reinvest my profits and my first company, G&S Nursery, is born in 1995. My brother and I form it together and run it on the side. Later that year, I decided to leave my job working for the landscaper and go looking for a pay raise.
Not long after that, I land a new job selling bolts for this man Mark’s company. Instead of a pay raise, he talks me into a pay cut! (No good business lesson in that).
But Mark is a highly disciplined individual who really knows how to leverage money and his customers benefit from lower cost. And Mark teaches me the second greatest business lesson I ever learned, to think of the customer as “the boss.”
Anyhow, I do so well in sales, that nine years into working for Mark, I buy his company, “HUB”, from him. When he first hires me, HUB is doing half a million in sales. By the time I purchase it in mid-2005, we are doing over four million annually. And when I sell it January 4th, 2016, we have grown to about thirty million in revenue.
After selling HUB, I could have taken more recreation time for myself, but in my heart I want to get back to my first love, G&S Nursery, which we grew over the years into the company you see today, Green Dynamix. I have been a business owner for 20 years, and I want to continue to apply what I learned running HUB to the landscape supply business.
I’ve always liked and appreciated landscapers for being down to earth, nice people. People that work with their hands. And I see a way I could really help professional landscapers make more money, a way we’d mastered at HUB.
At HUB we specialized in “soft-cost” savings. That meant we wowed our clients by specializing so well in what they needed, that instead of them having to buy from 10 generalists, they could switch to only using us, one specialist. And that switch saved them a ton of time, labor, invoicing, sourcing, decisions, and headaches. Those things are called your “soft-costs” and most people overlook them, but they are money in the bank if you can cut them down.
Helping people lower their soft-costs is the third most important business lesson I ever learn. True story, soft-cost savings is so valuable, one of our clients in the Northeast switched from their vendor of 20 years that was literally right across the street from them, to using us all the way down in Florida! Because using a specialist who really cared about what they did made an impact.
Today, I’m really happy to be back in the wholesale nursery and distribution business, serving pro landscapers, and I’m on a mission to bring “soft-costs” savings and the best customer service in the business to all my clients, or as I call them, “the bosses.” And I’m forever grateful to my friend for that gift of $1,000!
IT'S 2026...
The small nursery I started has grown into a multi-farm wholesale nursery operation and distribution partner to professional commercial landscapers throughout the Southeast, and is headquartered at our 44-acre facility in Lake City, FL. It employs green industry veterans, specialists, and horticulture professionals that are passionate about what they do!
In May of 2021, we rebranded from G&S Nursery to Green Dynamix, a name we feel matches our growth, culture, and values.
