Personal:
“In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife Bailey, our dog Cosmo, and our 2 cats, Walter and Elaine. We spend much of our leisure time outdoors, camping, hiking, attending concerts, playing beach volleyball, and working on our house and cabin.”
Why Did you Become an Arborist?:
“To be honest, my family spent many summer weekends camping, which I loved; from those early impressions I knew I would pursue a career that would take me outdoors in nature. My educational pursuits fell in line with my passion for the outdoors as did my internships and work experiences.”
Customer Service Philosophy:
“I often tell clients ‘We will help you with what you NEED our help with, and I will do my best to provide sound advice along the way.’”
