I work with Rainbow’s Consulting and Technical Arborists in identifying, researching and developing new products and procedures for maintaining the health of our clients’ trees. I also make sure that all of our arborists are trained in the most current science-based tree care methods and continue to be the industry leaders in managing our urban forest. Many of these educational programs are also available to members of the landscape and tree care profession through our Urban Forestry Institute.
My family consists of my wife and I, four kids in elementary school through college, three dogs, two cats and a pet tarantula. We enjoy summer outdoors fishing and swimming in local lakes and biking and hiking on the many trails throughout the region. We tolerate the winters with skis, snowshoes and copious amounts of hot chocolate. We are also avid Minnesota Twins baseball, Vikings football and Minnesota Swarm lacrosse fans regardless of their current standings.
