As an ISA certified arborist, I feel that my experience as an arborist as well as a resident of
Bozeman, would be very beneficial to the tree care advisory board. I have been in the green
industry for the past 15 years and have worked in all phases of tree and landscape maintenance
as well as landscape design and construction.
