Our Story

Our Story

Splintered Forest was founded in 2004 by Brad Huddleston, a longtime Conifer resident and local entrepreneur who learned about the importance of fire mitigation firsthand after he lost his family home in the Hi Meadow Forest Fire in 2000. The 12,000 acre blaze left a path of destruction in Jefferson County (and parts of Park County) and his property covered with burnt trees/slash. When it came time to clear the debris and start the rebuilding process, there was no affordable help so Brad set out and began the arduous task of removing the trees himself. Soon after, he began assisting neighbors with their tree removal needs and a business was formed. The first employees recruited? Kayla and Kara, his sisters, who are still an integral part of running the administrative operations of Splintered Forest today!

Splintered Forest has continued to grow and expand our service offerings. The crew consists of an amazing group of industry professionals that utilize each of their unique skill sets and an array of industry tools to assure that every project is completed safely and efficiently.

About Matt

Alex has been with Splintered Forest since (almost) the beginning and has become an absolutely invaluable part of the company, now serving as the Lead Foreman. Chances are if you've scheduled a job with us, you've had the pleasure of meeting Alex. He has over 13 years of experience in arboriculture and holds certifications with ISA, CTSP and NCCCO (check out our safety page to learn more about these)!

When he isn't at the controls of one of Splintered Forest's knuckle boom cranes or handling the logistics of a job site, he enjoys hiking, Jiu-jitsu and watching movies with his girlfriend and adorable toddler, Charles.

Want to know an interesting fact? He can tie *most* knots blindfolded.
