Meet the Founders

First In Gardens was envisioned and developed by “a dreamer” and “an architect.” Sarah and Bryan both share a love for adventure, community, and good times. Combining their own passions in a way that created an opportunity to support their neighbors and foster a sense of belonging in a joyful endeavor, was the seed that has germinated into First In Gardens.

We look forward to welcoming you to FIG!

  • Sarah’s personal mission is to serve her community with curiosity, imagination, and creativity rooted in authentic and compassionate living.

    Some of Sarah’s professional labels have included musician, fisherman, orchestra manager, educator, service-learning travel guide, and chaplain.

    Without a doubt, her new favorite is Farm Manager with First In Gardens!

  • Bryan is a former enlisted Marine who brings dedication and creativity to his role as Director of First In Gardens.  The continuous mission of supporting First Responders and Veterans is his passion.   

    Bryan also loves making music, either with his mouth or his piano, and still chases frisbees in ultimate matches. A proud husband and father of three uniquely wonderful kids, he also enjoys model trains and growing disturbingly hot peppers - because life is always better with a lot of spice! 

“The human tendency to focus on life and lifelike processes is a biologically based need and integral to development as individuals and as a species.”
