EVAN ROOT
Groundhand & Administrative Assistant

Evan traded spreadsheets for sawdust, and he’s never looked back. Originally from Overland Park, Kansas, he came to St. Louis for college, studying finance while making waves on Lindenwood University’s NCAA swimming team. But his real passion? The outdoors. About two years ago, he jumped into the arboriculture industry and quickly became obsessed with the technical side of rigging, equipment operation, and ground operations—always with a sharp eye on safety and efficiency. When he’s not making trees (and neighborhoods) safer, Evan is either wrenching on cars, traveling in the great outdoors, or indulging his love for motorsports. Oh, and as an Eagle Scout, he’s no stranger to adventure. Whether it’s trees or track days, he’s all about precision and performance.
