I was introduced to Sawyer work as an adolescent up North where we all had to cut in split wood all summer for our wood stoves in the Winter. Luckily I came across a couple of masters who taught me the art of arboriculture. I excelled in my field until one day I went on my own as Elvis tree climber extraordinaire. I ended up picking up a few misfit kids out of high school and mentored them until the crew started to become autonomous. After 20 years Of professional tree climbing I decided to pass the torch at 42. I am still on every job and lead by example by getting my hands dirty with the men to keep them motivated in the achievement of reaching excellence in our field .
