More about Riley Smith
Riley Smith was born in Washington, D.C. and was raised in the surrounding suburbs. His love for the outdoors was stoked at an early age during numerous outings with his family camping, back country hiking, and during adventurous canoe trips navigating many of Maryland's waterways. He spent three years of his childhood living overseas in Japan. His adventures didn't stop there. His family continued their exploration and climbed Mt. Fuji. This collection of life experiences led him to attend the University of TN where he obtained a BS in Forestry Wildlife and Fisheries Science. There, he gained a deeper understanding of the natural world around him. Upon graduation, he took a position with Maryland Dept. of Natural Resources as a watershed forester and rose to the ranks of Forestry Coordinator for the Chesapeake Bay. To broaden his knowledge of trees in the urban environment, he decided to branch out into the arboricultural world. Today, Riley is a Certified Arborist Representative. He is a licensed tree expert, ISA Certified Arborist, Qualified Tree Risk Assessor, and Plant Health Care Specialist. He and his wife of 19 years enjoy spending quality time with the two kids broadening their curiosity and wonders of the natural world around them.
