With over 38 years’ experience in caring for both native and introduced trees in south Georgia, Roger is well acquainted with their health and care. An ISA Certified Arborist since 2002, his passion is “Specializing In Live Oak Health and Recovery”. He is recognized as the tree guy for evaluating live oaks and understanding their condition while recommending a course of action to maximize chances for a healthy recovery.
His consultation business, The Tree Guy® LLC, began in 2011. Previously employed for 23 years overseeing the grounds for the five-star Cloister Hotel & Resort, he then served another 9 years working as the arborist for Frederica Township. Work here consisted of caring for almost 1,000 relocated mature live oaks on a 3,000-acre undeveloped track of land in what is considered the largest tree moving project in history.
He and his wife, Anne, have lived on St. Simons Island, GA since 1985 where they raised three daughters.
