It can be difficult – even scary – to hire any professional for the first time. It is even more frightening in an unregulated industry, such as tree care, where anybody can claim expertise when they have no education or professional training. As the owner of the company, it is important to me that you have confidence when you choose Advanced Tree Health. A few highlights of my educational and training background include:
- Bachelors of Science (in Forestry) from Virginia Tech
- ISA Board Certified Master Arborist (a Certification achieved by less than 2% of all ISA Certified Arborists)
- ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualified Arborist
- Licensed through Ohio Department of Agriculture as a Commercial Pesticide Applicator
- SAF Certified Forester
To verify credentials:
- Visit ISA’s site by clicking here and search by Certification number OH 5267
- Visit SAF’s site by clicking here and searching by last name
All of those Certifications require continuing education. I have regularly doubled the required hours in pursuit of knowledge that I can apply every day when caring for your trees.
Both ISA and SAF require adherence to their respective Code of Ethics to maintain Certification.
In addition to the educational and Certifications above, experiences matters. I have been practicing Forestry since 1998. I started Advanced Tree Health, Ltd. to provide superior arboricultural services in 2006.
