THE BLOOMA CREW

Martin Macauley

Founder, ISA Certified Arborist #PN-5768-A (click to verify) ISA Certified Tree Risk Assessor B.S., Mechanical Engineering (UW '85) Master's, Business Administration (Seattle U '90)

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 Macauley

ISA Certified Arborist #PN-7246-A ISA Certified Tree Risk Assessor B.A., Business (UW 2010)

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.

Amber Kellum

Office Assistant

Judy Macauley

Office Manager

Judy Macauley is wife to Martin and stepmom to Josiah. She has helped Blooma since its inception in 2005, joining the team full-time in 2014. 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.

Blooma has long been a family business, starting with our founder, Martin Macauley. Martin employed his two sons, Josiah and Michael, throughout their high school and college years when they were available. Josiah followed in his dad's footsteps and became an ISA Certified Arborist. Michael graduated with a B.S. in electrical engineering from UW Seattle and is an engineer at a firm in Lynnwood, WA. The legacy is continuing as we teach a third generation the ropes: Jin Eyon, Martin's grandson, joined the Blooma crew during the summers of 2018, 2019, and 2020, learning the ropes on the crew and experiencing entrepreneurship firsthand.
