My passion for tree climbing evolved from a long obsession of turning my hobby of rock climbing into a sustainable career. I have travelled all around the world climbing big walls in remote regions throughout my early 20s after graduating from Montana State University with a Bachelors of Science in Biochemistry. After years of sustaining my climbing addiction with summers working as an arborist, I decided to start my own company.

I believe that the skills I gained from weathering out storms on a wall, doing research in labs, working tirelessly through hot Montana summers, and finally learning from extremely talented mentors in the tree industry has provided me with ample experience to make sure that I treat your trees, home, and property with the outmost respect that they deserve.
