On this episode of the podcast Eric Petersen, President of Arborisk, joins us to talk about risk management, insurance, and what it means for your tree care business.

After graduating with a Forestry degree from Univ. Wisconsin-Stevens Point in 2003 and working as an arborist for a parks department, Eric joined his family’s insurance agency and began helping tree care companies grow and properly protect themselves. Seeing a need for a more specialized approach for the tree care industry, Eric and his team created the ArboRisk program around two basic principles: 

 1. To help every arborist get home safe each night. 

2. To help tree care companies grow and professionalize. 

 Eric is a past president and recent recipient of the Wisconsin Arborist Association’s Honorary Life Membership Award as well as a member of TCIA, ISA and multiple ISA chapters.
