Andrew was raised within view of the Rocky Mountains, his upbringing was steeped in respect for natural beauty.  He is an ISA certified arborist.  Seeking to incorporate his ecological appreciation into a career, he obtained a degree in Biology from Colorado State University. His education continued to grow at the Denver Botanic Gardens where he sought to harmonize the urban landscape of the city with the natural splendors of his youth. Since trees were his primary interest, their care and maintenance became his top priority. A small sidestep in career paths landed him in the field of arboriculture, where he continues to develop a passion for trees and their impact on local ecosystems. Andrew is  honored to be working with We Love Trees in the pursuit of creating and preserving our urban forests.
