Have you ever looked up at a giant, majestic oak tree and thought to yourself, “Damn, that’s a good looking tree.”? The answers is yes, yes you have. What you didn’t know is that you may have Owen Taylor to thank for that. You see, in his off-season, Taylor is what’s known as an arborist, and runs a small tree-care business. As an arborist, his job is to make sure a tree is healthy, trim away all dead or dangerous branches, consult clients on tree purchases, and just generally make trees look pretty. It’s almost like he’s a hair stylist or barber, but for trees…If your barber cut hair with a chain saw.
At first it started as a part-time job in college but now, it’s how he spends the majority of his off-season when he isn’t staying in football shape. The pay isn’t amazing, but his NSFL contract more than covers his relatively low-key lifestyle. Truth be told, the job has become much more difficult since he joined the Hawks, though. In 2 short years of working with the Hawks weight training staff he has gained over 40 pounds of “muscle” and tips the scale at just around 320 pounds. Unfortunately for Taylor, this severely limits the number of trees he’s able to actually climb in. He just got so fat…
