EMPLOYMENT OBJECTIVE:

● To obtain a position as a landscape foreman/project manager, which will offer a variety of challenges and responsibilities where my abilities and skills can be fully utilized. I strive to work in harmony with the customer base, along with all company employees while creating unique and beautiful outdoor environments together.

QUALIFICATIONS: Over 30 years owner and operator of CAS Landscaping/hardscapes in northern NJ, designing, overseeing and ‘hands on’ in all aspects of operations.

• Excellent personal motivation and customer communications, with a proven ability to build and work collaboratively in a strong team concept environment, as well as independently in a motivated creative manner.

• Focused, versatile, dependable, detail oriented, meticulous, multi-task oriented, flexible, positive, able to adapt effectively to challenging situations, including meeting project deadlines. {I pride myself on getting the job done in time for customer special occasions!}

• Well developed skills in prioritizing, organization, decision-making, time management, meeting customer needs and requests. • Strong interpersonal skills resulting in exceptional rapport with customers. Proven success in initiating, promoting and maintaining strong interpersonal relations. Able to deal courteously, professionally, and tactfully with the public in a variety of circumstances.

I have a passion for creating unique and original landscape and hardscape. I take my work very seriously and I don’t take shortcuts. I have worked with numerous hardscape materials: pavers, bluestone, natural stone, block, limestone and various treads, boulders, fieldstone, flat rock, refacing of concrete with stone tile, natural stone steps, etc.

I design and install new plantings, paver walkways-patios-driveways, walls, fire pits, borders, steps, waterfalls, biergartens, etc. I also survey all projects to address and remedy any necessary drainage and grading issues with the use of Kubotas, backhoes and excavators.

I have designed and installed numerous commercial and residential properties. I specialize in knowing the correct plant and paver materials for each individual site project. To keep projects looking good for years to come, I have maintained many of my customers' properties. Along with this I have done snow removal for over 30 years: snow plowing, salting, snow blowing, moving snow with machines and mason dumps, etc.

2. PERSONAL INFORMATION:

I am a father of 5 grown children, and 3 grandchildren. Most of our family has relocated to the Charlotte area over the last 3 years. I am very interested in continuing my life long career and passion here in NC to be closer to my family, where I can also work year round, as opposed to snow plowing all winter up north. I also love to golf in my spare time and NC seems like a very good place for that as well. In off hours I referee basketball. RELATED WORK EXPERIENCE:

30 years owner operator of landscape/hardscape design and construction company in northern NJ. Large return client base of customers for over 25 years. References:

"Creative*Scapes has done several projects for us, ranging from a major hardscaping project involving several dry stacked walls, large bluestone patios, and extensive landscape beds and plantings to smaller foundation beds and plantings. In all cases we have been extremely pleased with the results. Chris is a creative designer, detail-oriented project planner, and an extremely skilled hardscape craftsman. The dry-stack stone walls and patios he created for us are outstanding. In addition, he is very sensitive to customer needs and preferences and always offers effective solutions to problems that inevitably arise during a complex project. Highly recommended! -Bob C."
