Let us know if there's a topic you'd like us to cover!
Six years ago David Lewis fell and broke his foot. He quickly realized his days as a professional tree climber were over. Knowing that he still wanted to have a career in tree care service, Davide decided to learn the business side of tree care.
David became ISA certified, pass his Arborist test, and obtained his applicators license. He ended up getting a position as an account manager at a publicly-traded tree care company. After spending four years at that company, David decided he wanted to take his talents to help grow an up-and-coming tree care company. That’s how, in April 2021, he ended up at Orleans Co Tree Service.
