Atlanta’s All-Star Team of Certified Landscape Specialists

Dick started Arbor-Nomics® in 1980 with one truck, lots of help from his family, and an unwavering determination to deliver “old-fashioned” customer service. Many years – and fleets of trucks – later, old-fashioned customer service is still the driving force behind our lawn care.

Lawn care is in Josh’s blood. His father founded Arbor-Nomics^®, and as a kid, Josh went along on service calls. He saw how his dad cared for turf and trees and – just as important – people, always putting the customer first. Josh continues that legacy of delivering great lawn care and great customer care.

Tricia started in Customer Service in 1996, but her love of numbers and accounting led her to bookkeeping and ultimately to her CFO role. She believes everyone plays a part in providing a great customer experience, so it’s important to support each other and to lead with kindness and empathy.

David is an Arbor-Nomics^® veteran. Starting as a lawn care tech in 2001, he quickly advanced to operations manager for the Norcross branch and later to branch manager. In all his roles, his guiding principle with customers and co-workers has always been “communication is key.”

Since joining Arbor-Nomics in 2011, Frankie Rivers has been instrumental in supporting management teams and overseeing payroll processes. As Vice President of Operations, he emphasizes a laid-back leadership style and is committed to fostering a positive work environment where each team member’s unique strengths are recognized and utilized. Frankie enjoys woodworking, fishing with his son, and shopping with his daughters. He takes pride in his strategic response to staffing challenges during 2020, ensuring uninterrupted customer service.

David Gay’s career at Arbor-Nomics began in 2010, starting on the aeration and overseeding crew and advancing to Vice President of Operations for the West division. He manages daily operations across multiple branches, focusing on service quality and employee well-being. David is an avid golfer, hunter, and fisherman, cherishing the time spent with his grandchildren. He is known for his hands-on approach and commitment to the company’s family-like atmosphere.

Jackie Mathis has been with Arbor-Nomics since July 2022, playing a crucial role in staffing our four locations with skilled personnel. Her efforts are pivotal in supporting HR needs across the company, contributing significantly to team cohesion and promoting a culture where every voice is heard. Outside of work, Jackie enjoys crafting candles, riding scooters, and volunteering at the Norcross Ministry, where she assists with job searches and resume updates. She is inspired by the motto, “Dreams do not work unless you do.”
