Mark Bourgeois
Founder and Operator of ArborPro Tree Experts
As far back as he can remember, it was clear that there was only one thing Mark was going to do with his life. From the earliest of ages, Mark knew his passion was trees and anything to do with the great outdoors. He attended the University of Maine where he studied Botany, Dendrology, Environmental Science, and Wildlife Science. After Maine, Mark came west to study at Oregon State University. Balancing books and college life, Mark spent his free time rock, ice, and alpine climbing over all sorts of terrain and enjoying the incredible nature and landscapes of the Pacific Northwest.
In 1986,while living in Massachusetts, Mark stumbled upon his first residential tree work while volunteering in the local community. It was an instantaneous sort of love, and within a couple of years Mark had purchased equipment and hired his own employees. From 1986 until 1993, Mark and his team specialized in arboriculture and occasional forestry management work.
Colin Bourgeois
Operations / Sales Manager
Colin’s love of trees and the outdoors was fostered from a young age while growing up in the forested outskirts of Portland and apprenticing to his father, Mark Bourgeois, owner of ArborPro. Colin furthered his passion by continuing to do tree care work in Northern California while he attended school at Humboldt State University. After graduating with a degree in Outdoor Leadership and a minor in Business, Colin served as a wildland firefighter with the Forest Service for fire three seasons while continuing to work at ArborPro.
In 2017, Colin took on his current role as Operations/Sales Manager. In that role, he manages key accounts and assists with overseeing the daily tasks associated with running the business. On occasion, Colin has the opportunity to get back into the trees himself and revisit the hands-on work that fueled his passion for trees since he was young. Outside of work, Colin enjoys hunting, fishing, hiking, and all things outdoors.
30+ Years of Exceptional Tree Service
Entrepreneurship for Mark started on the east coast, but the West won his heart. In 1993, he moved to Oregon (the perfect place for a tree lover!) and started ArborPro Tree Experts. Since then, the business has flourished. He attributes that to his attitude and that of his employees.
“This was a great experience!”
The crew was talented, friendly, careful, professional and hard-working. All 19 trees were trimmed beautifully. They will be happier and grow stronger now. Thanks everyone!
