Brick is a tree-climbing competitor, who loves to invest time into performing his best. His favorite event is Aerial Rescue, as it is not only a very technical event but he also has the massive challenge of being deaf while accomplishing the task.
Since Brick was born deaf and received a cochlear implant at the age of 22, he has always had to be creative in becoming a trusted coworker. The experience in his growth as a tree climber, 22 years in the arborist industry, has created a philosophy that he lives by; “always a student.”
