About

Bio

Most of my chainsaw experience was with O44’s carbide chain on roofs with fire underneath. Spent 13 fire seasons working on large forest/wildland fires and always thought highly of the “C” fallers. I have a strong work ethic and leave things better than I found them, believe you hire for character and train for skill when it comes to personnel. I am looking for an opportunity to gain experience working on a team of people who take their work seriously and safely with the goal of leaving things better than we found them. I’ve been a lifelong woodworker, have a quiver of pro chainsaws, and miss working outdoors. Have expertise and experience in wildfire defense planning for property owners.
