Joining the Woodpreneur Podcast today is Craig Geddis of the Boston Based Franchise, Monster Tree Company. Starting in the business at 16, Craig instantly fell in love and worked for years up in trees. As time passed and he grew older, thoughts about what 65 would look like up in a tree started passing through his mind. While he was passionate about the work, he knew that he needed to divert his career path in order to prepare for the future.
It was at this point in his life that Craig decided to attend college for Forestry. While attending, he worked with Bartlett Tree Service in Arborist sales and continued to foster his passion for trees. In time, he knew he had the know-how and education to step out on his own, and he now works as the “tree guy” for one of the 26 Monster Tree Company franchise locations within the U.S.
Show Highlights:
- Passionate about trees and what they do, Craig says that he finds “nothing as awe-inspiring or as beautiful as that first green in the spring when the trees are pushing out their new leaves.”
- Craig grew his Arborist expertise by working with Bartlett Tree Service and attending college for forestry.
- Monster Tree was started in the last decade and is already in 26 states
Educating The Public:
- To many, the concept of an Arborist is a new idea and they are unaware of the difference between a true tree surgeon and a lumberjack. While there is a time and place for the lumberjack, there is also a need for the Arborist and the “life-saving” services that they offer trees.
Craig’s Advice:
- “Don’t be afraid to ask for advice or call someone when you don’t know the answer.”
- If you’re looking to network and get your business name heard, consider sponsoring a little league team or donating trees to a local park.
