Adam grew up in southern California spending his freetime skateboarding and playing guitar. Shortly after graduating high school he moved to a small town in northern Mendocino county where his love for the outdoors, agriculture, and snowboarding really came together. Searching for an outdoor mecca to re locate to and be closer to a ski resort he found Bend Oregon and has called it home for nearly 4 years. Here he became involved in wildland firefighting and realized his passion for arboriculture and forest restoration.

My name is Ben, I'm 23 years old ; born and raised in Central Oregon. When I'm not at work, I can be found somewhere in the woods either hunting or exploring places that are new. I've recently transitioned from fighting fires to the arborist world, so I'm excited to see where this can take me!

Lead Climber / Tree care Specialist

Bryce started his path into the tree care industry while getting his undergraduate degree in fisheries and wildlife biology from OSU. During his last semester, he took tree climbing courses that focused on the methods of tree climbing and techniques.

After, he then volunteered for the Department of Forestry at OSU on a research project surveying predatory bird and tree vole nests in old-growth forests.

Many years later he moved to Hawaii and started working as a production tree care specialist. He loves the constant change in scenery, the physical demands and the mental challenges that come with the profession.

All in all, its Bryce’s way of keeping his mind and body sharp and healthy.
