Each individual in this diverse group of
professionals brings something special that contributes to the greater
strength of our Response To Nature team. When the project is over, clients
are sad to see us go!
Here are the faces you'll see and the feet on your ground.

getting your feedback at critical points during the process. When he's
not bidding jobs and running landscaping crews, Bob is busy restoring
classic cars.

Sherry — Office Manager
Sherry is the office organizer who creates order from chaos. She's
our detail-oriented ‘Gitter Done Girl.' But Sherry does much
more than office chores and account management. Sherry knows our business,
inside-out, and has a special knack for tracking people down. Sherry
likes to perform her miracles behind-the-scenes, so don't expect
to see her mug-shot on the website. It might break her cover.
