About Me

As a certified arborist in Vermont, I am involved in a million different elements of tree work. I am currently working with Heritage Tree Care, run by Beth Fuehrer (another Certified Arborist) and Patrick Grant. I get January, February, and some of March off due to insanely cold weather. Since I prune, plant, shear, remove, cable, and assess all types of trees, I am in awesome shape, and work outside all week long. For those that work in an office, my apologies.

Heritage Tree Care Early Days



(Ramadi and one of our chicks, kicking it.)


Well, after going out with Limbwalker Tree Service for three years, I decided to break up. For me, it was an easy decision; the company just didn't work the way I wanted it to. Mechanical issues, human resource issues, working conditions: all of these led me to jump ship and end the relationship. And I can't believe how good I feel about that decision. I feel AWESOME!

Since coming on board the exquisitely run Heritage Tree Care, I have been climbing trees left and right. I feel that my skills are a total and real asset to the company. Beth and Patrick are real humans, fun, loving, kind, sympathetic, and treat all of us (Jim, Paul, me) like members of the family (Beth says that she sometimes cooks breakfast for Paul, who lives off the grid and might not have the capabilities to crank sweet breakfasts in the woods). So there. Limbwalker, goodbye, and Heritage hello.

Here is my first movie of Heritage work. Notice the beautifully sounding diesel truck that is automatic! Not gas and not standard! Wow!

Judging by the language used you seem to have no problem trashing LW. Is this intentional rationality or merely irrational indifference?

PS
I love you blog. Keep up the great work. Maybe I'll have a real blog someday.

PSS
I'd like to eat one of your chickens.

i have no problem trashing LW. it is a company that served me well, but, like a bad relationship, i grew to sort of hate it. bad equipment constantly, bad personnel decisions constantly, lots of stress, etc. and now, with heritage i see how a real tree company works. DUDE! don't eat the chickens. eat their eggs! i love you, too, blog.
