Moore worked in various roles during his tenure with them including head of customer service, southeast territory manager and national key accounts manager. Moore graduated with a bachelor’s degree in ag business from North Carolina State University. Moore will be based in North Carolina.
The Davey Tree Expert Co. promoted Jacob LeBarre to district manager of Davey’s Akron Residential/Commercial (R/C) services office.
“Jake’s enthusiasm for the green industry and strong work ethic set him aside from others early on in his Davey career,” said Scott Heim, market manager, Northeast Ohio, R/C services. “I have no doubt Jake will serve his clients, the Akron office and the Davey company well with his new leadership role.”
