About Me:
I was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, and made my way out West shortly after graduating high school.  I was intrigued by the wonders of the mountains and the prevalent outdoorsy lifestyles that I had heard so much.  I Started University at UBC-Okanagan, but it didn’t take long before my passion for skiing, climbing, and exploring the outdoors put school on the back-burner.  In addition to needing money to support a lifestyle that was dependant on accumulating gear and maximizing my time-off, I wanted to find work that would not only push me to my limits but was also work I could be proud of.  I found tree planting.  My first season was eye-opening, but immediately I knew that this was the job for me.  I have never experienced an environment that has offered more opportunities for personal development, self-growth, and the realization that you are capable of so much more than you believe.  The challenges I’ve faced throughout all of my planting seasons have only added to the sense of achievement I’m filled with at the end.  And the family that I’ve become apart of along the way is one I wouldn’t trade for the world.  Tree planting is a beautiful thing that combines community, hardship, triumph, and a whole lot of laughter.  And I encourage you to become apart of this ever-growing family.


Work with Scott
Interests:
I LOVE planting trees.  But outside of the planting season, my passions are skiing/snowboarding, climbing, and dancing.  After a few years in BC, I got into backcountry skiing and now instruct Avalanche Safety Training courses during the Winter.  When I’m not teaching courses, I do most of my skiing at Revelstoke Mountain Resort and in the Rogers Pass.  I’ve been rock climbing for the past six years, and I have been lucky enough to climb all over BC, Alberta, Washington, Oregon, Colorado and Utah.  Get ready to have some wicked dance parties, whether it’s going to live shows, Salsa dancing, or grooving to any weird music you’re into, I love to dance and will definitely get people up and moving.

My Planting history:
 I started planting in 2016.  I’ve been a camp first-aider, and primary-driver for three years, and rookie-trainer two.  I will be able to teach you proper planting techniques that will prevent you from getting injured, and I’m great at boosting morale on tough days.  I’ve had the pleasure of learning the ins and outs of tree planting from my old foreman Adrien Gendron, and I look forward to taking over for him in the upcoming season.

What you can expect from me:
Everyday that I am out there, I will work hard to ensure that you are safe and well-equipped to reach your maximum potential.  I pride myself on communication; you can expect clear instructions and someone who will listen to feedback and take into consideration what you need to excel.  I will do my best to create an environment that fosters respect and support within our crew and camp. And at the end of the day I hope we can all have some laughs and good times!
 
What I will expect from you:
I expect you to continue to push yourself every day.  We are out here to make money, I will be working hard for you, and I expect the same in return.  I expect you to do your best to maintain a positive attitude and be respectful to your fellow planters.  A crew that can come together, support, and encourage one another will do a lot better at reaching each of our independent goals.  I expect you to contribute to that environment, and hold yourself accountable for the work that you do.
