Matty Komar

A native of New Jersey, Matty’s lifelong passion for the outdoors brought him to Colorado to study ski area operations. An avid mountain biker and snowboarder, the magnificent trees that surrounded him during all of his outdoor pursuits piqued his interest and ultimately led to a career in arboriculture where he met his mentor, colleague, and friend, Mike Earl. Today, the two are partners in Old Growth Tree Service, each bringing their own set of skills and expertise that help keep our valley’s landscapes healthy and beautiful. Matty is primarily responsible for on the ground operations at Old Growth, but can often be found up high in a bucket truck or dangling from a crane with a chainsaw performing technical tree work.
