Meet The Team

Dick Bare
FOUNDER & OWNER
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.

Josh Bare
PRESIDENT
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 Houck
CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
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 Sweeting
DIRECTOR OF SALES
AND MARKETING
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.”

Frankie Rivers
VICE PRESIDENT OF OPERATIONS – EAST
Since joining us in 2011, Frankie has cared for customers’ lawns, served in key management positions, and earned recognition as Employee of the Year. His kind, calm demeanor and willingness to go above and beyond for customers and employees make him a natural for the role of VP of operations.

David Gay
VICE PRESIDENT OF OPERATIONS – WEST
Since starting in 2009, David has earned a reputation for nurturing eye-catching lawns and creating partnerships with his customers by sharing his vast knowledge of lawn care. As vice president of operations, David’s goal is to ensure that his team is equipped to do the same.
