About Blooma Tree Experts

Martin comes from a long line of tree experts. With a grandfather who was an Oregon logger in the 1930s and 40s, and a father who founded a successful logging company in the 1960s and 70s, Martin grew up with a love of trees and a keen knowledge of balancing customer needs with natural aesthetics. After earning a mechanical engineering degree (UW '85) and an MBA (Seattle U '90), Martin found life as a Boeing engineer too stuffy (he calls it the "cubicle lifestyle"). He returned to the outdoors as a tree man, soon earning his arborist certificate from the International Society of Arboriculture and founding Blooma Tree Experts LLC. He married Judy in 2007, and soon afterward, enticed her to join Blooma.

Josiah learned the ropes from his father throughout high school and college, working on the Blooma crew every summer and holiday break. After earning his business degree at the University of Washington, Josiah worked several places, ending up as an arborist for the city of Seattle Department of Transportation. In 2016, he fulfilled his father's goal and joined the family firm as a partner. Josiah is married to his lovely wife, Lauryn.

Office Assistant Brianna joined the Blooma office crew early in 2019, and we love her cheerful outlook and helpful attitude. When she isn't answering the phone, scheduling bids, or taking excellent care of our customers, Brianna tends to her son, and feeds her hobbies of photography, makeup and hiking.

When she isn't talking to customers, scheduling bids, or straightening out the books, Judy enjoys creating fused glass art and spending time with her three beautiful grandchildren.
