Team Arborology
Ronnie Simpson
Ronnie started his career in tree care over 25 years ago. He became a Certified Arborist in 2001 and achieved the honor of Board Certified Master Arborist in 2020. A native of North Carolina, he moved to Florida in 2005. He has worked his way through the ranks in the industry from starting out working on the ground to holding the position of Vice President for some nationally recognized companies. Ronnie has a passion for trees and the people that care for them. In 2017 he decided to become a Tree Care Safety Professional and instructor for the Arborist Safety Training Institute. He did this because of a lack of safety in the industry. He now spends much of his time teaching safety to tree care, landscape and municipal employees throughout the southeast United States. He has grown tired of watching poor quality tree work be performed. So he built Arborology Inc to empower tree owners and managers with the knowledge and expertise needed to meet their tree care needs.
Mike Guido
Mike has been in the landscape industry since 1991. Mike has worked for service providers managing multiple branches at one time, directing as many as 60 employees.

Tank O' Pottomus
Tank has been a key team member at Arborology for the last 10 years and is the backbone of our security team. He is certified in Milk Bone, Cat Food and treat removal and disposal. Tank is a native of SWFL and is proud to say he's a born and raised Floridian. Tanks favorite wood is Live Oak. Tank is a workaholic by nature, In fact he stays so busy he has several beds at the Arborology Inc world headquarters here in Cape Coral. If Tanks not at the beach or brown nosing the boss you can find him flopped on his bed chasing cats in his dreams. As he says "Guys I wasn't dreaming about kitties I was dreaming about trees".
Zero
Zero may be the youngest pup on the Arborology roster, but he’s already made a name for himself as our resident “Laser Pointer Surveillance Specialist.” His frisbee-chasing career is currently under review (he blames the humans for poor throws), but his dedication to the sport is unquestionable. Born and raised in SWFL, Zero balances his Floridian roots with a laid-back approach to life. His official duties include frisbee retrieval, snack negotiations, and long naps in his rotating collection of nap zones. His favorite wood is any he can snatch and run with. Known for his easygoing charm, Zero prides himself on being both playful and efficient. As he likes to remind the team: “Work hard, sleep harder… but don’t forget the snacks.”
