Jamie Jones - Hired by TreeLink in July of 2007, my background is in Business Administration and Marketing. Before moving to Salt Lake City, I lived in Steamboat Springs, CO. There, I was fortunate to have been involved with the start up of a successful architecture firm (Vertical Arts), helping it grow from the ground up as the Business Manager. With my active personality and love for nature, TreeLink has been a natural fit. The energy in the office is great, the potential limitless, and the cause is unbeatable.

Job Description: Operations Manager, project coordination, administration, marketing outreach, & new project development.
