I am a master arborist and professional horticulturist providing arborist consulting for private clients, environmental organizations, and municipalities as well as large scale garden management and logistics for private estates.

​

My arborist work includes everything tree related such as tree risk assessment, health diagnostics, tree establishment, pruning standards, and planting. I also work with soil and drainage mitigation, design coordination and planning.

​

My horticultural work on large estates has given me exposure to diverse botanical collections of plants. I have extended study and working knowledge of plant performance, cultural practices, and maintenance techniques required for successful establishment and long term care of nearly every type of plant collection grown in California.

​

My work has included many large scale projects coordinating with designers, architects, and contractors. I provide complete execution from garden design through plant procurement, site logistics, installation, and long term maintenance systems, overseeing each phase from planning through establishment.

​

I have experience in wildfire fighting and specialize in the design and installation of wildfire protection systems on private estates, including tanks, wells, and generator backed water systems for property protection during wildfire events.

​

I'm a logistics specialist and my role naturally blends into property and estate management, I proactively identify issues that need to be dealt with for my clients, coordinate with a network of specialized vendors I trust, and oversee an experienced crew to execute projects, ensuring all work and plantings are completed to high standards with consistent training and oversight.

​

Most of my work has been on the west coast of California, and I have also completed projects in Indonesia. International projects are of strong interest, with a focus on expanding work at that level. I am fluent in Spanish and Indonesian.
