Todd holds a degree in Urban Forestry and a Master's in Entomology, and was also valedictorian at Bristol County Agricultural School. Drawn to Maltby's reputation for quality tree care and a positive environment, he joined our plant health care division over a decade ago.
His strong desire for more eco-friendly and organic solutions spoke to customers and grew business exponentially. It wasn't long before Todd was managing plant healthcare operations. Under his tutelage, we have witnessed junior employees become skilled technicians and arborists.
A gifted diagnostician, it isn't odd to find someone leaning over his desk with a bug, branch or specimen for assessment. Stumping him is an office achievement. His patience and particular knack for teaching always leave customers (and coworkers) feeling informed.
Todd is a husband and father of 3 who loves spending time hiking, fishing or enjoying quiet time in the White Mountains.
