Barry Smith grew up in Kentucky which is a heavily forested state. His interest in trees started when a ranger came in to talk to his second grade class. "I was so impressed by him. I thought being a ranger was a really exciting job."

Barry now holds a Forestry degree from the University of Kentucky. He was a longtime Arbor-Nomics employee and now owns the company.

Barry is a hands-on owner and meets with many of the clients himself. He believes in tree preservation versus removal and respects the environment.

"I believe that trees help to maintain equilibrium in our environment and are very important to our survival."
