Me and the boys at a Iocal heroes house. This woman was a Vietnam nurse for 2 years. At 80 yrs old she is still taking care people...she had a cooler full of ice cold drinks, sandwiches, and cookies too for all of us.

To all my loyal customers, friends, and family: I've operated my business, Big Jay Tree Service, for 23 years now. In 2005 I broke all my ribs, broke vertebrae, put a hole in my liver, and sustained a TBI (traumatic brain injury) from being knocked out by the sport that I love...Tree Work. Since then cuts, bumps, and bruises have been a common occurance. In more recent years it's been torn muscles, tendons and ligaments; the result of gross overuse of body parts. I will be 52 in July and now have several "treeguy-itises."

Feeling the decades of tree work accumulating on my body, I reached out to James Zuhlke, of Zuhlke Tree Service, to see if he was interested in my business...he came to my shop the same day and said, "we know who you are, Big Jay". To my surprise, he wasn't just interested in my equipment, commercial real estate, and customer list...he was also interested in me. He offered me a position where I would be able to continue to serve my Big Jay customers.

In the weeks since we began working together I have been thoroughly impressed. All the young men I have been working with are squared away, safety conscious, thoughtful, caring, and have solid attention to detail. I needed some high quality help and now I have it.

Big Jay is not done, just entering a new tour of duty with the Zuhlke crew.

Thank you for all your continued support throughout the years.

If you call Zuhlke Tree Service and speak to Shanna (who is awesome!)... just let her know you want Big Jay and you will still get me.

Leftovers from a crane job just before real winter, and a customer letting me know which trees.
