Don has over 40 years of experience and education in tree and landscape maintenance.

Son of a horticulturist-landscape architect, Don grew up around plant nurseries, parks, arboretums, landscaping and tree work.  He's been a nurseryman, licensed landscape contractor, tree worker/foreman, tree service owner, tropical reforestation worker, orchard manager, consulting arborist, estimator and trainer. He’s lived and worked in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Hong Kong, India, and Thailand.

Don's early education and experience came from apprenticing with his father and other master horticulturists, arborists and organic farmers.  His formal education includes college coursework in biological sciences, pest management, plant pathology, and business management.

Don's orientation to horticulture is comprehensive plant health care, integrated pest and disease management, environmentally safe methods and materials, and working to enhance the natural form, beauty and productivity of plants.  Don loves trees, he knows a lot about them and he likes to save them if he can.
