Pete is a third generation International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist. He graduated from Delaware Valley University with a Bachelor of Science degree in ornamental horticulture. During his years in school, Pete was drawn to the tree climbing aspect of arboriculture.

Mentoring under Jim Roach and Tadd Leaman, and the other foremen at John B. Ward Co., Pete quickly developed into a very competent foreman and crew leader. “The focus, challenge and attention to detail is what made me fall in love with arboriculture. You develop a strong mentality to overcome obstacles on a day to day basis. I feel this focus has helped me on all aspects of my life. I also love working with my family and wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. I am truly lucky.”

When not as work, Pete enjoys yoga, training jiu jitsu, and working out. He believes that all these activities help him to continually improve as a leader and tree climber.
