Ken’s voyage into arboriculture stands as a testament to the serendipitous paths life often unveils. Originally trained as a certified HVAC technician, Ken’s transition into the realm of lawn care was an unexpected twist in his professional journey. However, it was his inherent love for nature and an enticing promise of a dynamic workplace environment that beckoned him towards Lawn Masters, where he has remained steadfast for over a decade.
Ken’s affinity for nature runs deep. From an early age, he felt a magnetic pull towards the natural world, harboring dreams of exploring its depths as a forest ranger or studying its intricate ecosystems as an ecologist. Yet, fate had a different path in store for him—one that led him to become a certified arborist with Lawn Masters.
Ken’s passion for the great outdoors shines through in his work. “Well, I’ve actually always loved trees. When I graduated back in ’86, I wanted to be a forest ranger or ecologist. I’ve always been fascinated with the outside. I’ve always spent most of my time outdoors.”
But why has he stuck with it for so long? The answer lies not just in his love for trees, but in the profound sense of fulfillment he derives from his work. Ken explains, “The most rewarding thing is really taking care of the customers, taking care of people,” he affirms. “Letting them know that I want them to be comfortable with contacting us at any time.”
Cheers to Ken!
In an ever-changing world, Ken’s steadfast dedication to caring for trees serves as a reminder of the enduring power of passion, community, and the natural world that surrounds us. “This is the best company I’ve ever worked for,” he concludes. “This is different. This is really kind of a family. And I love it here.”
