Shane Tucker
Trim Manager/
Certified Arborist
SHANE
Shane grew up in Michigan and moved to Colorado 21/2 years ago for a better job opportunity.  He was our lead foreman until 6 months ago when he became the Trim Department Supervisor.
He has over 20 years in the tree industry and has worked in Chicago, Florida, New York City, & Ohio.  He has been on high profiles properties such as Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, FL and The Breakers Hotel.  He was a foreman of a crew of 60 that climbed and inspected all of the trees in Central Park for Asian Longhorn Beetle!

He loves the tree industry because it is challenging and different every single day.  He decided to get his arborist license so that he could be informed of all the correct ways to do pruning as well as be knowledgeable in diagnosing Plant Health Care issues.  He also wanted to know as much about trees as possible. Shane was featured in the Lawn & Landscape Market Leadership Magazine’s November issue.

Shane loves working at Mountain High tree Service!! He particularly loves how involved Ralph is and what he does for his employees; he feels like Ralph treats everyone with so much respect. He relishes working in a team environment and his favorite part of his job is doing large removals and being part of a large project where he has to solve a puzzle in order to accomplish the end goal.

In his spare time he loves spending time with his 5 year old daughter, whom he absolutely adores.
