Founder's Story
Knee-deep in dirt and covered in mosquito bites, I knew there had to be a better way...Not long after moving back to St. Louis from the West Coast with my family in 2012, I was working in aerospace and decided to dig up an in-ground garden at home. My time away from home inspired me to create a green space for my family, and I also wanted to reconnect with my childhood—learning how to properly plant tomatoes, potatoes, and carrots on my family’s farm. It sounded idyllic until the mosquitoes showed up.
I was outside gardening, fresh from the West Coast, with no bug spray, shorts, and a T-shirt, when I looked down and realized I was getting completely torn up. I ran inside laughing and thought, I only want to water my plants once a month. In that moment, it became an obsession—an idea, and then a creation.
Patented Solution for Smart Plant Care
Posie Pots combines my lifelong passion for horticulture with my professional background in mechanical and manufacturing engineering. I hold a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Saint Louis University. I’ve spent twenty years in my career working in product development, R&D, and utilizing Six Sigma methodologies with companies such as Amazon, Bayer, The Boeing Company, and Northrop Grumman.
I’ve always had a deep curiosity about aerospace, aeronautics, and design—and how we, as human beings, can create something that didn’t exist before. While working in R&D, I learned rapid prototyping, 3D printing, additive manufacturing, composite engineering, and materials science—how structures gain strength, how airflow moves through curves and angles, and how math and engineering can also be beautiful.
