Landscape/Hardscape Supervisor
I graduated from Macon R-1 in 2014 and went on to attend the Missouri Welding Institute. After some time, I decided to switch professions and pursued a degree in computer networking at MACC. I then worked as the IT technician for a local school for several years.
In February 2024, I happily married my wife, Azucena “Azzie” Bonuchi. In June 2024, I joined Foster Outdoors, marking an exciting new chapter in my career. In my role as the Landscape/Hardscape Supervisor, I focus on helping to design, oversee, and install retaining walls, paver walkways and patios, lawn edging, and outdoor lighting.
I was born and raised in Macon, Missouri. In high school, I served as an FFA officer and went to state contests with my team in Entomology, Floriculture, Agronomy, and Farm Management. These contests let me discover my passion for plant sciences. After graduating from Macon R-1 in 2021, I decided to enroll at Moberly Area Community College. I graduated from MACC with a STEM degree and went to work at Dark Horse Medicinals.
I now work as the Nursery Supervisor for Foster Outdoors. As Nursery Supervisor, I am responsible for the growth, development, and care of our plants. I also manage and supervise the nursery staff, generate plant orders and planting schedules, and use design software to ensure clients get a rendering of their project prior to implementation.
Owner
I was born and raised in Macon, Missouri and graduated from Macon R-1 in 2016. After high school I went to the University of Missouri-Columbia and received my Bachelors of Science in Plant Science with an emphasis in Plant Breeding, Biology, and Biotechnology in 2020. After college I started a legally licensed northeast Missouri cannabis company called COCO. This business was sold in March of 2023.
I have always had a love for growing plants and my family and I opened Foster Outdoors in May of 2024. I am a licensed commercial pesticide applicator with extensive knowledge in turf care, growing ornamental plants, shade trees, and landscape construction.
