My Mentor

During my internship experience I have been assigned a mentor. Keith Lemburg is that lucky guy; he is pretty much THE MAN. Keith is from this great state of Illinois, he started his college education at Kenoshia Technical Institute , continued at Utah State of all places, then returned back to his home state.

He started working in the green industry, finished up his education receiving a bachelors degree in Horticulture from Southern Illinois University. He started in the GREEN industry as an apprentice gardner then he went into the golf course sector for five years. He worked for the Theodore Brickman Company, more commonly known as the Brickman Group today, in commercial Landscape Maintenance and Construction. He worked there for 15 years before he started here at Mariani Landscape, where he has been for 12 years.

I will try and sneak a photo of him for those visual folks out there sometime soon. Until then, he looks and has a very similar personality to Duane Powell.
