Jacob Murdock
Certified Arborist Crewleader

Jacob knows trees like the back of his hand—and not just because he’s been climbing them since 2014. Starting as a utility tree trimmer, he’s worked his way through Joplin, Springfield, and St. Louis, leading crews and earning his ISA Certified Arborist title along the way. Before that? He was a UPS driver, balancing college courses in ecology (because trees weren’t just a job, they were the passion). When he’s not up in the canopy, you’ll find Jacob soaking up the outdoors with his family or perfecting the art of smoking meats—because, as he’ll tell you, good barbecue is just as much a science as dendrology.
