Norm St.Jean has been an arborist since the eighties when he began his career with Big Axe, the inventor of the hydro axe. Shortly after starting work with Big Axe, the company sold to Asplundh, and Norm started working on utility line clearance. After a year of running a hydro-axe with multiple mishaps, he was banished to hand slashing with a chainsaw, and Norm's love of the saw was sealed.
Disenchanted with utility tree work Norm started his own private residential tree care company. After being introduced to the ISA became enamored and empowered to be not only ISA certified but developed the first real "Oak Man" style tree service in EdmontonAs an "Oak Man" with "Euc Man" tendencies Norm's career has been colorful.
To this day he still dabbles in tree care and sells cars on Vancouver Island where Norm spends time living on board his sailboat, an activity he loves. Norm is a master saw-hand and an arborist dedicated to professionalism. Norm was the first trainer to be involved with ArborCanada and we look first to him sharing his experiences of what it was like in the beginning.
