Inspiring Conversations with Simon Burkey of S.B. Tree Service

Today we’d like to introduce you to Simon Burkey.

Simon, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I was first introduced to the tree service industry by friends when I was living in Hawaii. I moved to Kona and started working on a family friends coconut tree business directly out of high school. I grew up both rock and tree climbing on my families 8 aches. I guess you could say I have always been fascinated with climbing. My first word was squirrel! After moving home to Cincinnati, I started S.B. Tree Service in 2021. For the first 9 months it was just me, my little brother, Alexander, and our third crewman Amiene. Since 2021, S.B. Tree Service has grown to 18 crew members! Starting with word of mouth, we have worked our way up and are in a great rhythm of growth.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I think it is safe to say getting to where my company is now has come with its fair share of challenges. I was only 24 years old when I started S.B. Tree Service. Being young with no capital and learning to navigate an industry that comes with a lot of risk was not something I took lightly. Thankfully, I had great mentors and at that point had worked in the tree industry for years. As stated above, the biggest challenge is making money while being fair to the clients and making sure my crew is taken care of physically, mentally and financially. This job is dangerous and I am so lucky to have such a well trained group in the field who take safety very seriously. I really believe in potential and evolving with my crew.
