After graduating from Paul Smith’s College in 2003, John joined the company and is now in his 22nd year. Arriving for his first interview in a shirt and tie, John was polite, professional and prepared for the meeting. These traits remain evident today as his clients appreciate his patience and attentive nature. John has developed into a master ornamental pruner and key member of our company. 

John was interested in tree care at an early age, “I really enjoy being outdoors and being active. Trees are critical to our environment that sustains us.” 

His favorite tree is the Eastern Hemlock. “It is the Pennsylvania State tree and lives to be hundreds of years old.” 

A long-range outlook for caring for trees has developed John’s expertise in structure pruning young trees. This skill fits well with his focus on “caring for the environment for generations to come!”

John’s hobbies include hunting, gardening, history and tinkering. 

His associate degree in forest technology is from Paul Smith’s College. With his wife, Debbie and daughter, Anna, John lives in Springfield.
