new guy here

[climber32]

Hey guys, I have been following this thread for about a month or two and its about time I introduced myself. I have been in the industry for about five years now, I work for a municipality as a full time temp nine month's of the year. On top of that I work for the local forester (all manual work) with what ever work he has outside of his 8 hour week. We are in the middle of dealing with the emerald as borer here in central Illinois, its been a crazy year and a half so far. I'm still young and have allot to learn but its been a great ride so far, with a great teacher along the way. I enjoy reading about all your guy's business's and the work you have done. allot of top notch cutters with great technique and ideas in my opinion so keep up the good work!
