Sam holds both a Bachelor of Environmental Design and a Master of Landscape Architecture from the University of Minnesota, where his research explored the intersections of design, ecology, and material exploration. Originally from Minnesota, he grew up among the tallgrass prairies and riparian forests of the St. Croix River Valley—experiences that continue to shape his approach to landscape architecture.

With experience in landscape design, implementation, and maintenance, Sam values both the conceptual and hands-on aspects of the profession, believing that effective solutions emerge through collaboration and shared perspectives. He has a strong interest in ecologically sound design and the relationship between people and plant life, aiming to create landscapes that balance aesthetics and function while fostering a strong sense of place and connection
