Tell us about yourself! Hobbies? Fun facts? How did you get started?
I am a certified arborist with ISA. I have a wonderful wife and 5 great kids; we love spending time together. Fun fact: I'm afraid of heights, I believe it makes me a safer climber. 20 years ago, I was out of work and answered a want ad that read "Tree Climber needed”. I'm a kid at heart and I can climb. Turns out I'm a natural and my office is outdoors. I've tried office work; I've tried factory work and I always fell back on trees. After working for a few services in the area and then getting laid off in October one year I got my trucking license and drove truck, but I missed the home life. So that spring I started working on my own. That was 5 years ago, and we grow every year. We started stacking brush in the back of a pickup and now we have a bucket truck, a chipper truck, a chipper, and a small tractor and many happy clients
Define your business in your own words.
We are tree service, we fell, prune, and plant trees. We don't want to be the guy that comes and destroys an area we want to leave an area better than when we got there and we want the client to make an educated decision on work to be done and when the best time to do it, like it is best to prune in the dormant season and don't cut more than 30% of a tree when planting make sure the tree is at the correct depth and when applying mulch don't cover the root flair. We feel that educating the client they feel more comfortable making an informed decision.
