Why He Became An Arborist:
“A childhood full of hiking the preserves and parks of Connecticut inspired an interest in the natural world. After receiving my biology degree, I worked for a bit as a marine biologist before transitioning to the world of aboriculture. This allows me to work outside and constantly learn more about living things.”
