My hometown is Pine Island, MN
I graduated from South Dakota State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Agronomy
I have 4 years experience in the tree industry doing residential tree care
I enjoy hunting, fishing, and camping in my spare time
One thing to know about me is that I am obsessed with OBS Ford trucks
My favorite part about BIG TWIG is the team camaraderie. The way each team member clicks with one another makes this place really special.

I founded Big Twig in 2009 with the humble beginnings of a pickup truck, climbing gear, and a two chainsaws.
I saw a need for care for large trees and to provide forest management in southwest Montana. This has led us to a resume of 15 years of results driven tree care and sustainable forest management.
It has been an adventure through the years of working with trees both residential and forestry.
