Lori Beehner, Logistic Manager, is a 1994 graduate of St. Cloud State University of Minnesota. After honing her management skills for seven years with a large retail store, Lori recognized her urge toward creativity by changing her career path. She started to install gardens with ECI in 2004.

Her sense of creativity, quality control, and organizational skills has cemented her role as an integral part of our landscape design and customer service team.

Travis has also become a skilled mason.

Carlos Castro, Landscape Technician, certainly put his skill set to good use on both our garden stewardship and construction crews. We were fortunate to discover Carlos Castro who joined Environmental Construction in April of 2012. Carlos immigrated to the US from El Salvador in 1993 where he lived in New York City for 5 years and picked up English as a second language. Carlos thanks his father who always stressed the importance of learning how things work and how to keep them working for his aptitude in small engine and equipment repair. Carlos has a very interesting perspective on life in general, and landscape design, construction, and maintenance in particular. We hope you get the opportunity to meet him some day.

Adam Tharp, Garden Care Specialist, joined Environmental Construction, Inc. in the fall of 2012. Adam signed up with a particular interest in helping us grow the garden stewardship and maintenance branch of our business. Adam grew up and still resides on Vashon Island where he and his wife ran a maintenance company for seven years. It was shortly after they were blessed with a baby daughter that their desire to simplify life won out over their desire to be self-employed. That decision has benefited our company greatly as Adam's sense of the landscape maintenance business combined with his extensive experience in lighting and irrigation work as well as his successful completion of several Plant Amnesty pruning courses has benefited many of our more discerning garden stewardship clientele.

Pamela Shepodd, Office Manager, has been living in the great northwest for decades. She has been on the Environmental Construction team since 2012. Her extensive background in small business management has been a true benefit to our company.
