Before i-Climb, Leon had spent most of his career working for other arborist companies.

He got plenty of experience in both residential and commercial work, but after a while, he knew it was time to take the big leap and become a business owner.

“I thought there’s got to be more to it,” Leon says. “If I’m working for other people and making them rich, why can’t I take the big leap and do something for myself?”

While he admits there’s a lot to keep on top of a new business owner, his first six months have gone better than expected.
