It's funny how easy it is to point fingers and talk while sitting behind a keyboard. I have never hid my name on here the way a lot of other people do. I don't get in to the name calling and bashing that occurs on threads. I usually on respond when I can help people out. I'm hoping this response will help open your eyes and educate you as well. In the nicest way possible, I will let you know that I have been working for the company for 18+ years. There were 5 guys when I started. We had one chip truck, one bucket and one chipper. The OCD boss you complain about, started with a pick up and a chainsaw and has busted his ass and given up a lot to get us to the point where we are today. None of us were handed anything. We just worked hard and made it happen no matter what it took,never walked away from anything. We have grown into a company of 100+with a lot of equipment, as you can see from my avatar. You don't do hack work getting to the size of the company we are, and still growing. How you see me on TV is how I am everyday. Will some see me as a prick? Yes. Is it for the safety of my crew that I act this way? Absolutely. I am one of the toughest guys in the company to work for, but that is because safety is of utmost importance to me. I try my hardest every day and expect the same ethics from others. Am I human and made and will still make mistakes? Yes. For those that are willing to learn, especially on my crews, I am always willing to stop what I'm doing to educate them and pass on my knowledge. I have taught many guys over the years and have learned from many great guys, in and outside the company. I have seen and experienced myself firsthand the damage mistakes can cause. I try to use my experience to prevent others from doing the same. I don't know everything, nor will I ever claim to. As far as I'm concerned, everyone can and should learn something if they can every day.
To answer the 2nd season question, we have not heard anything yet. It has business as usual since we stopped filming.
