All About Me
I have spent my career managing trees and natural resources for municipalities, other public entities, land trusts, and private corporations. This work experience has allowed me to gain knowledge and expertise in a wide range of areas related to tree care management. The health of trees in an urban community are impacted by human interaction and environmental stressors. My mission is to provide long term sustainable solutions to these stressors. Professionally, I have 2 certifications and 1 qualification through the International Society of Arboriculture and a Registered Consulting Arborist® with the American Society of Consulting Arborists. I also have my pesticide applicator license through the Office of Indiana State Chemist.
