ISA Certified Arborist #WI-0954A

B.S. Urban Forestry-University of Wisconsin Stevens Point

Urban Forestry Technician-Mid-State Technical College, Wisconsin

My first experience working with trees came while working on my hometown Christmas Tree farm in my early teens. My passion and love for the outdoors and tree care continued throughout my 16 years of experience in the field, which included internships in both Washington DC and Chicago. I was pleased to ultimately earn my Bachelor of Science degree in Urban Forestry from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point and move to the Twin Cities metro area to begin my career in Urban Forestry. I have over 5 years of experience in the professional field, which started with production. I enjoyed climbing trees and operating the bucket; however, I am excited to expand my career as a Consulting Arborist and share my tree knowledge with you.

When I am not in the field, I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughters. I enjoy many recreational activities such as camping, biking, hunting, and fishing.

I am excited to be a member of the respected Rainbow Tree Care Team and to work closely with you on improving your trees and homes.
