Bio

International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist

Certified Tree Worker

Holder of 4 Qualified Supervisor Pesticide Licenses - Turf, Ornamental, Rangeland, and Right of Way categories

I began my career at Missouri Botanical Garden in 1999, before continuing on in private companies and municipalities in Minnesota (Rainbow Scientific Tree Care), Missouri (Davey Tree Experts) and Colorado ( Save A Tree, South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, Highlands Ranch Metro District, Town of Parker).

Specialized Tree Services, based in Douglas County, CO, focuses on the individual plant/tree, providing species and location specific guidance/services based on your individual property.

I believe a thorough knowledge base  of diseases of all plants leads to a better understanding of what may benefit trees and shrubs and what may be leading to decline.
