Jeffrey Horton
The Fire House Stove Shoppe LLCMr. Horton has been in the construction and contracting business since 1983. Having been working with designers and architects, he has developed many skills that helped him improve the process of working with construction projects, both residential and commercial. In the 90s, Mr. Horton’s company, Victorian Stove Installers, was installing 12 to 20 fireplaces a week. Having worked with all the major manufactures in the fireplace industry, he was able to provide feedback to the manufactures that helped them design units that were more user-friendly to the installation industries. In the late 90s when the building trades collapsed, Mr. Horton had to venture into the heavy commercial fireplace units like Montego and Stellar. These were very large and difficult to install and most installers stayed away from them. Their team contacted these manufacturers, got into training sessions, and became the foremost installation teams in the greater New Hampshire and Massachusetts areas. In 2012, Mr. Horton built from the ground up a new hearth shop called The Fire House Stove Shoppe in Epping, New Hampshire and in 2020, opened his second store in Ipswich, Massachusetts. They are now New England’s largest Vermont Castings Dealer and the nation’s largest retail outlets for Regency and Hampton hearth products. Mr. Horton currently employ 14 full-time employees.

Marty Shaw, RCA BCMA
Author of The Professional Amenity Plant Appraisal HandbookIn the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, Mr. Shaw grew up in the sleepy little Appalachian town of Bristol, Tennessee, a small city that rests on the boundary between the two states of Tennessee and Virginia. Upon graduation from Bristol Tennessee High School, he enlisted in the United States Navy where he served as ships baker aboard the USS Shark (a fast attack submarine) for four years. When his enlistment came to an end, he took a job selling lawn care service to residential owners in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and later, moved to Knoxville, Tennessee where he worked as general manager of a landscape contracting company while attending the University of Tennessee for Ornamental Horticulture and Landscape Design. Eventually, Mr. Shaw took over as president of a wholesale tree care supply business and built the company from $70,000 in sales to over $1.2 million in just seven years. During that time, he married his wife Kristin and they had two children together. With encouragement from Kristin he also developed an interest in arboricultural consulting, and on May 11th, 1999, he became the first American Society of Consulting Arborist (ASCA) member in Middle Tennessee. From 1998 to 2003, he also served on the Tennessee Urban Forestry Council. Mr. Shaw has since consulted with private landowners, insurance companies, attorneys, tree companies, cooperative extension service agents, country clubs, state urban forestry organizations, universities, and colleges. He has worked on some of the most challenging, difficult, and highest profile cases across the United States. Mr. Shaw is a registered consulting arborist, a board-certified master arborist and one of only a handful of arborists worldwide who consult full-time. He is a UAS pilot, a real estate appraiser and he brings a broad range of skills from a variety of scientific and professional disciplines. An autodidact, Mr. Shaw brings a unique perspective and a talent for learning to any project. He has developed authoritative expertise to create a greater understanding in tree related matters.
