Nurturing Nature and Growth at ACRT Pacific: Tristan Hoffman

Tristan Hoffman joined the ACRT Services family of companies in 2019 and brought a wealth of knowledge and a passion for trees and nature that has been evident ever since.

When asked why he chose this industry, Hoffman shares, “I love trees and nature and enjoy talking to people about their trees. I also chose this industry because I love collaborating on large projects.”

Hoffman currently serves as a pre-inspection manager. He enjoys learning about new attributes of trees, tree growth, and their life cycles. Being outside and observing trees firsthand is one of the aspects he loves most about his job.

Looking back to when he joined ACRT Pacific five years ago, Hoffman says he was drawn by the career growth opportunities, the chance to work outdoors, and the opportunity to share his extensive tree knowledge and passion with others.

He advises those looking to enter the industry, “Try to brush up on local tree growth rates and species, take a class about trees, or seek an apprenticeship with a local tree crew. Educational experience is always a plus.”

Two notable events in Hoffman’s tenure were receiving the Going Extra Mile (G.E.M.) Award and being selected to participate in ACRT Services’ Honors Program, a multi-day leadership program dedicated to training up-and-coming employees throughout the organization.

Reflecting on his time with the organization, Hoffman expresses his gratitude, stating, “ACRT Pacific has been a great company to work with for the past five years, and I am so grateful to be a part of such a caring community.”

Hoffman holds a Bachelor of Science in Marine, Freshwater, and Environmental Biology from Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. He is also a certified International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Arborist and has credentials in Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ), Certified Treecare Safety Professional (CTSP), and OSHA 30.
