The Davey Tree Expert Company has promoted Travis Evans to market manager, Bay Area operations, Residential/Commercial (R/C) services and Jeremy Nama to district manager, Santa Cruz, R/C services.
Evans started his career with Davey in 2001 with the Davey Tree Surgery Company and Davey Resource Group until he moved to the Santa Clara R/C office in 2007 as sales arborist. He was named assistant district manager of this office in 2012. In 2015, Evans became the district manager of the new Santa Cruz R/C office, previously known as Nature First, which was acquired by Davey. Evans is an International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Certified Arborist, an ISA Certified Utility Specialist and Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) Certified Tree Safety Professional.
“Travis has a wide range of experience and has been instrumental in growing our Santa Cruz office,” said Andrew Ferguson, vice president, Western R/C operations. “He has a wealth of knowledge thanks to his diverse experience within Davey. That breadth of information will serve his clients well in the Bay Area.”
