Okay, let’s tackle this. So Rick Cober has an unusual combination of skills and experience. He’s an arborist with 63 years of experience, which is extremely rare. Typically, arborists with this level of experience might charge $100-$200 per hour. However, considering his background in operations management and customer service, which are also in demand, I’ll estimate his rate at the lower end of this range. Maybe around $45 per hour, considering he’s not a software developer or a financial expert, and his experience is more specialized. This rate reflects his unique skillset and the fact that he’s not a high-demand professional in a competitive field.
