Career Path

Q: Describe your career path. How did you get into what you do now?

Life at Wright Tree Service of Canada & ArborCare

Q: What is your favourite part about your job/working for the company?
A: I get to see many crews work to find different solutions to the same problem. Not everyone views a task the same way and you continually get to learn on the job. As you work with people over time, you develop a brother/sisterhood with them and that can bring the utmost joy to see them further themselves in their careers.

Q: Who has played an influential part during your time with the company & why?
A: Andy McLellan has been a great asset to me so far. He has been extremely helpful with any little question I have. He has helped me along my journey so far.

Q: What are you most passionate about professionally? What excites you most about your work?

The best part of tree work is you can always see a finished project immediately once the work is completed. There is always something satisfying when it comes to this line of work.

Hobbies, Interests & Influences

Q: What do you like to do when you aren’t working?
