Free RegistrationForestry Science & Professional Standards A major driver behind how I run my company is forestry-based, science-driven decision making. My background in: • Forestry education at UNB • ISA Certified Arborist standards • DNR wildfire / incident command system
How do you stay motivated?Another strong influence is the self-built business model. inspiration clearly includes: • Building infrastructure (shops, buildings, equipment yards) • Investing in equipment instead of shortcuts • Creating year-round work for crews • Expanding capability rather than staying small
What would you do with the $25,000?If I had $25,000 to invest in my business, it would go into people and culture. Equipment matters, but strong companies are built by strong teams. Investing in training, safety, and supporting our crew creates pride in the work and a higher standard in the field. It would also support our free firewood giveaway, helping families in our community stay warm each winter. A business should grow alongside the community that supports it.
