    Kendall Bird - Founder

    Kendall Bird represents a unique blend of interests and experiences, embodying the spirit of adventure and intellectual curiosity. His extensive travels across Asia, Africa, Europe, South America, and North America have not only enriched his worldview but have also deepened his appreciation for the cultural and historical tapestry of each region.

    His passion for classic literature, particularly his affinity for "Don Quixote," informs his perspective on heroism and idealism, while the works of Louis L'Amour transport him to rugged landscapes and tales of bravery.

    Kendall's hobbies extend beyond the pages of his favorite books; his enthusiasm for skeet shooting reflects a proactive approach to life and a desire for skill mastery. This passion is paralleled by his diverse musical preferences, where the soulful strains of Andrea Bocelli meet the storytelling prowess of Johnny Cash and the melodic simplicity of Jim Croce.

    Each musical selection resonates with his travels and experiences, creating a soundtrack that complements his adventures. Whether enjoying a quiet moment with a book or embarking on a new journey, Kendall’s choice of Maté symbolizes his connection to tradition and the shared moments that travel fosters. Always on the lookout for high adventure, Kendall Bird is a distinctive figure who navigates life with passion, curiosity, and an appreciation for both the past and the present.

    Kasen Lentz

    Kasen Lentz's journey with Kendall and the Tree Barbers reflects a blend of dedication and passion. Joining the team in 2020, he brought with him not only his experiences from a transformative mission in West Africa but also a solid academic foundation with an Associate of Science degree in Veterinary Medicine from Snow College. Currently, he is advancing his education with a Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife Ecology and Management at Utah State University.

    His love for nature is evident through his regular outdoor pursuits, including camping, hiking, and exploring the breathtaking Cache Valley mountains. In moments away from these adventures, Kasen indulges in literature, finding inspiration in works like George Orwell's 1984, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, and The Way of Kings. This combination of academic ambition, love for the outdoors, and literary interests shapes a well-rounded individual committed to both personal growth and environmental stewardship.

    Andrew Hernandez

    My name is Andrew Hernandez! I was born and raised right here in the beautiful Cache Valley, and I graduated from Logan High School in 2014. In the spring of 2022, I proudly completed my undergraduate degree at Utah State University in the field of Residential Landscape Design, and I have aspirations to continue my educational journey in various ways in the future. I began working for Kendall in 2021, and I can confidently say without hesitation that he is the best boss I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

    My hobbies encompass a wide range of interests, including music, a variety of exciting sports, watching films, and spending quality time with my beloved golden retriever, Ben. Ben is currently 5 years old, has an energetic personality, loves to chase his own tail in circles, actively seeks out opportunities to get wet or muddy, eagerly anticipates our daily walks together, and adores everyone who shows him kindness and love. I also truly enjoy traveling for events or special celebrations and make an effort to keep up with human advancements and current events around the world.
