Horticulture Instructor
Lee College
I guess you could say horticulture is in his blood. His dad taught horticulture for Lee College for 31 years. Following in his footsteps, Scooter graduated from Sam Houston State University in 2006 with a with a Bachelor of Science in Horticulture. In 2008, he replaced his dad as the Horticulture instructor for Lee College Huntsville Center’s program on the O.B. Ellis Unit in Huntsville, Texas.
He got his first professional experience working for A&B Landscaping from 2002 to 2008 doing Landscape Design and Landscape Maintenance. He maintains his professional relationship with A&B as an occasional consultant.
For the past 9 years, he has been a member of the Walker County Farmers Market selling and raising fresh produce from his families land. His family raises over 1,000 tomatoes plants each year on their small tract of land to sell fresh to the local community. As Scooter says, “It’s so great to be able to get your hands dirty with the ones you love.”
