Hey folks. Let's make it official.
My name is Ian. 31. I live in Oakland. I've been working professionally since right after high school, coming on 13 years now. I feel I'm at the point in my career where I've gone from knowing nothing, to knowing everything, and now I know just enough to realize each day that I have no idea how trees really work (as much as I wish I did). That keeps me excited to come to work. Ran a mid sized residential/small commercial company for a while in San Diego, now I do municipal Arborist work. Very different. You look at everything with "10-50 years in the future" goggles on. Pretty fun, too. Lots of big park trees to climb and midnight emergency calls to keep things exciting. I think we use the last pager in existence.
I also enjoy competing (and don't take it too serious), but don't like that I can't use my rope wrench kit yet. In addition to after hours rec climbs, if anybody out there would like to surf in Northern California or climb in the Sierra, I believe some fun could be had.
Cheers, Ian
