ISA Board Certified Master Arborist serving Lake Oswego, Beaverton and Southwest Portland

Mature trees are among the most valuable and irreplaceable features of a home. They frame the view, shade the house and took decades to grow. My job is to keep them healthy, safe and beautiful for decades to come.

I’ve always had an affinity with the natural world. I started out planting cypress for oceanside homes on the southern Oregon coast. Later I led reforestation crews, felled timber and spent weeks alone on a fire lookout in the Kalmiopsis. In 1994 I came to Portland for a tree service apprenticeship, and I’ve been climbing ever since.

Today I hold the ISA’s highest credential, Board Certified Master Arborist, and I’m also Tree Risk Assessment Qualified. The Oregon Department of Transportation, FEMA and California State Parks have relied on my wildfire tree hazard assessments. I bring that same rigor to your property.

Plant health care, not guesswork. Many tree problems start quietly: boring insects, root disease, stress from drought or construction. I diagnose before I treat and recommend only what your trees actually need. That includes monitoring and protection against emerging threats like emerald ash borer.

One arborist who knows your trees. When you work with Pacific Tree Preservation, you work with me. I get to know your property, keep track of your trees over time and give you straight answers.

After 30 years, tree climbing is still fun, and I love meeting people who care about their trees.
