Born in Santa Barbara in July of 1962. Graduated San Marcos High School in 1980. I began my career in Arboriculture working summers and weekends throughout high school as a groundman for a local company that mainly performed work in the Hope Ranch and Montecito areas. Quickly I was trained as a climber as my employer noticed me as “natural” in the business and that I had an “artistic eye”. I continued to work for local companies in the Santa Barbara area until 1989 when I accepted a position as foreman/right hand for a large company in Santa Cruz Ca. In 1991 I decided to start my own company In Santa Cruz and soon found my work area spreading into Silicon Valley. I became a Certified Arborist in 1993. My primary Client in the Bay area was AAA insurance and I performed many large hazardous removals and failure cleanups throughout the Bay region. I also gained much experience in potential failure diagnosis, tree evaluation and report writing as well as post failure analysis and their subsequent reports. I realized I missed my hometown of Santa Barbara, its climate and beautiful tree’s, especially the Oaks and decided to move back in 1999. I still thoroughly enjoy my work, climb and prune trees regularly and am integral on every jobsite. I keep the company small and personal to insure quality work and excellent customer communications.  I have trained many tree care professionals and a few of my protégé’s operate some of the most successful companies in the state as well as locally. For fun I enjoy sailing, surfing, hiking and just about everything outdoors. Love all animals, especially dogs.
