Chris has been in the tree care industry since he was young. His dad quit his corporate job to start his own tree company and Chris was hooked. He brings a wealth of knowledge and many connections considering he is firmly involved with Connecticuts' tree community. Chris has many claims to fame but most notably, he has been the head judge for the CT tree climbing competitions' throwline event and many people say he sets up the best throwline trees in the northeast. Don’t let his considerable knowledge and inquisitive nature fool you, Chris still has a sense of humor and if you can get him laughing it's contagious. If he isn’t at work you can find Chris hiking or working in his garden.

Ground Technician Georgous George began working at Family Tree Care in the fall of 2024. George is originally from Connecticut, but he found his way to Philadelphia to complete his bachelor's degree. Lucky for Family Tree Care, George followed his heart back to his home state. George's quick intellect and easygoing nature mean that although he is new to tree work, he is often tasked with talking to clients. Although it is challenging, George appreciates the benefits of being outside and the dynamic physical nature of the work, even if he was up too late the night before. When he is not at work with Family Tree Care, you can find George connecting Connecticut schools with local farms or dominating Yale graduate students on the basketball court.

Ground Technician / Climber in Training Climber Jonathan, or affectionately “Spaff,” but never Jon, began at Family Tree Care in the winter of 2025. He has worked for several other tree companies around the state and in various roles, but he came to us to hone and expand his climbing skills. Jonathan is often regarded as a kind and laid-back individual, but he also has a fiery, passionate side that energizes him. On most Saturdays, you can find him in a tree, and on most Sundays, you can find him playing with his cats.
