I have recently retired and wish to continue contributing my life and business experiences at some capacity, and share them with people requiring expert advice and supportive information in the green industry.

For the last ten years, I have owned and managed my own landscaping company. www.bobncarolslandscaping.com I built my businesses for seven years on Cape Cod in Massachusetts and just over three years in Henderson County, NC.

I have developed much knowledge of lawn management, use and maintenance of related machines and equipment, plants, small trees, shrubbery, planting, maintenance, landscape design and maintenance of the entire landscape.

I have worked with organic management techniques and want to explore assisting another company in a similar endeavor.

My resume has prior business experiences not quite related to the above mentioned, none the less they indicate a progressive and productive career. I want to offer my experience as a customer support person now.

Thank you in advance for any considerations and your time, if there is a part time, or temporary position available I would be interested in discussing the opportunity.

Respectfully yours,


Robert J Tourville
