Who Is John Sutton?

John Sutton has always been interested in trees.  As a boy growing up in West Monroe, Louisiana, he helped his father in their family-owned sawmill.  It was there that he began to learn about trees, everything from forest survey, logging, to cutting timber for finished products. 

After serving in the US Air Force, he returned to the tree business in Birmingham, Alabama where he worked as a tree surgeon after being promoted from ground crew to climber in less than 60 days on the job. 

 In 1986, John was certified as an arborist by the State of Louisiana Forestry. 

Over time, he’s added to his practical education with much formal education:

University of Florida, Tropical Palms and Cycads Short Course (Fall, 1997); Broward County Tree and Landscape Ordinance Seminar (Spring 2000); Florida Trees 2000, Appraisals, Native Habitats, Current Utility Arboriculture, Florida Trees 2001, Great Southern Tree Conference 2003, Florida Law People & Trees 2004, to name just a few.

In 1988, John moved to southern Florida and worked as foreman with a local tree service before “branching” into his own business, Sutton Consulting Arborist.
