Hello, John and Darin! I hope I might be of some help here. I live in central Florida, and have been climbing/trimming over 10 years. Was ISA certified in '95 or '96, but didn't get renewed. Too much paperwork, I was too buzy working! Among my credits is 3 years in the City of Winter Park forestry division and 3 years as a climber/foreman for the local Davey Tree commercial/residential division. Hopefully I can still help others with my experiences since I cannot climb anymore.
