Luke Williamson here. I began climbing trees soon after I learned to walk. When I was three-years-old, I was excited to find a chainsaw under the Christmas tree for me…then cried when I realized it was a toy!

As a teenager, I began rock climbing and rappelling. I’m thrilled to be able to tie my interests of climbing and using a chainsaw into a skill where I can help others. I’ve been climbing and cutting trees—using a REAL saw—for over two decades now.

My full-time role is Captain in the Conway fire department where I’ve served since 2005. I also am part of Arkansas Task Force-1, a search and rescue team that specializes in structural and high-angle rescues. That training furthered my education in ropes, rigging, and lifting and moving objects, which I’ve been able to implement when lifting and moving trees. So when not hanging off of a tree, I can be found hanging off of a cliff, building, stadium, or a helicopter doing rescue training.

Your safety is my priority. My colleagues and I put care for you, your yard, and your facilities first. I love tree trimming and removal because it gives me a chance to climb, cut, and improve the safety and ascetics of homes and yards in our Conway community.
