He joined NLR's "Fit 2 Live" program, and for the past 12 years, he has coordinated garden outreach services throughout the state. He is the current outreach coordinator and garden manager for the Veterans Trail Garden greenhouse in NLR, which grows seedlings for 35 raised beds in central AR. He also initiated "Share the Garden", a program that helps folks obtain homegrown produce grown in their backyards by making raised garden beds and providing members with the tools necessary to grow food.
