Like so many others in this diverse world of Arboriculture, Laurie began his formal tree journey in the late 80’s by just needing employment.  A horticulture company gave him the work he required and opened the door to a fulfilling career that has now lasted for 30+ years.  He became a Journey-person Landscape Horticulturist, an ISA Certified Arborist, an ISA Certified Tree Worker Climber Specialist, acquired a degree in Landscape Management, became Tree Risk Assessment Qualified, became Tree Appraisal Qualified, took multiple short-burst education and arboriculture courses every year of the 30+ and he just recently signed up for an online leadership course.  He believes in being a lifelong learner!This lifelong learning has also included working for private tree care companies, working as a municipal arborist, co-owning and operating a tree service with Carla, his wife, teaching arboriculture at a community college for 22 years, and most recently, helping deliver short-burst training for Arboriculture Canada Training and Education, Ltd. in western Canada.Laurie is most grateful for the abundance, value, and depth added to his life by his faith, by 34 years of marriage to Carla, by his three daughters and their spouses, by the wonderful grandchildren that continue to come from those relationships, and of course, by his friends!
