Bio
I grew up in Sun Prairie and studied Urban Forestry at UW-Stevens Point. In my free time, I enjoy hunting, fishing, hiking, and golfing. I always knew I wanted to work outdoors and growing up, I had an appreciation for forests and now understand first-hand the wide array of services a healthy forest provides.
What I like about Southeast Wisconsin: The scattered forests in a more urban environment is an exciting challenge for me. It is fulfilling for me to help landowners with invasive species and forest health issues turn their properties into a thriving forest.

There are also many cooperating foresters who are able to assist you. Cooperating Foresters are consulting foresters or industrial foresters who voluntarily enter into a cooperative agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Consulting foresters are private-sector foresters who provide forestry services on a contract or fee basis and who represent the interests of private forest landowners.
