Hello Everyone. I am a college student, Army Vet, and a climber with 10+ yrs. experience in tree service. I must admit that I have not dedicated most of that time with the tree in mind. What I mean by that is, I haven't always used best practices when climbing. I have regrettably spiked many trees that weren’t removals. I have concluded that from late 2018 and on I will no longer practice that method of butchery.

Part of my epiphany came after learning in my biology course more about trees. The take home was that they aren't just objects, they are actual organisms. They have mechanisms and chemical reactions in response to their environment. Just like you and me. I began to realize that I am an organism sporting another organism. Through that realization I found a great opportunity to share with you what I’ve learned and show you a path to becoming a greater climber and through the process a better person. Join me as I grow in my knowledge and wisdom and share it with you.
