Meet Butch -
With over 40 years of work experience, I am a passionate and dedicated arboricultural consultant and president at Tree Life CA.
We provide arborist consulting and expert Plant Health Care services to a diverse range of clients, including real estate professionals, homeowner associations, attorneys, private estates, institutions, facilities, and communities throughout Southern California.
Our mission is to promote the health, safety, and value of trees and landscapes, and to educate and empower our clients to make informed decisions. We are committed to delivering high-quality, ethical, and professional services that meet or exceed the industry standards and best practices. We bring a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and experience to the table, as well as a unique perspective and a collaborative approach.
Prior to joining Bradley Consulting Group and forming Tree Life Consulting in 2014, I was the Managing Partner in San Diego with Arborwell Professional Tree Management for over 13 years. In this role, I brought Arborwell to the Southern California marketplace, generating new business opportunities, maintaining existing accounts, and providing exceptional customer service. I leveraged my skills in contract negotiation, landscaping, and budgeting to create and execute customized tree management plans that met the needs and expectations of my clients. I am proud of the long-lasting relationships and trust that I built with my clients and partners, and the positive impact that I have made on the urban forest.
