Driving around the community and talking about trees with our neighbors is the best. I love what I do. I have been an arborist with Texas Tree Surgeons for the last 9 years.

I enjoy being at the lake, doing anything outdoors, baking, and watching panda videos on instagram. Pandas, and trees, make everything better.

I have been in tree care for almost 2 years and love sharing knowledge about trees. I graduated during the pandemic from Tarrant County College with an AS in Horticulture. Before that I was a journeyman electrician for 16 years. I play bass semi-professionally and have a band Local Union that you can find online.

I fell in love with Texas Tree Surgeons originally as a customer as they helped me with my oak that was struck by lightening. Through my in depth conversations with my arborist I realized that this was the path for me. I immediately noticed the care and love Texas Tree Surgeons had for trees and and their ethos aligned with my values and interests of working with nature in the best interest of trees.

My way to arboriculture is through my background as a private chef, gardener and native plant enthusiast. I grew up in the Santa Monica Mountains in Los Angeles and I would go on nature walks with my mother regularly because she ran the Sierra Club Walks where they would  identify and forage edible mushrooms and plants.
