About Blooma Tree Experts
Blooma Tree Service is owned and operated by Martin Macauley, an ISA Certified Arborist (PN-5768A). (Why hire an arborist?) Martin comes from a long line of tree experts. With a grandfather who was an Oregon lumberman in the 1930s and 40s, and a father who founded a successful lumber company in the 1960s and 70s, Martin grew up with a love of trees and a keen knowledge of balancing customer needs with natural aesthetics.
After earning a mechanical engineering degree (UW '85) and an M.B.A. (Seattle U '90), Martin found life as a Boeing engineer too stuffy (he calls it the "cubicle lifestyle"). He returned to the outdoors as a tree man, soon earning his arborist certificate from the International Society of Arboriculture and founding Blooma. (Do you know that only 2% of those who take the arborist test pass the first time? Martin did!) Click here to find Martin's ISA certification.
Blooma is a family business, and Martin employs his two sons,
Josiah and Michael, when they are available. Josiah just earned his bachelor's degree in business at UW Bothell and is studying for his ISA certification and pondering opportunities to expand Blooma while searching for a business-related internship. Michael is an electrical enginering student at UW Seattle.
Our hard-working employees are Drew, an ISA certified arborist (PN-6964A) with extensive landscaping experience; Chris, our experienced groundsman; and Vuka, our go-to man and stump grinder extraordinaire who has been with Blooma from the beginning. We appreciate their expertise and dedication to keeping our customers happy.
