Gabriel Verduzco Joins Rainbow Ecoscience as the West Coast Arborologist

Gabriel Verduzco joined the Rainbow Ecoscience team in February of 2023 as the Arborologist covering the West Coast. In Arborologist, Gabe is responsible for working with local Territory Managers to provide PHC training and education to Rainbow clients including application training for crews and technical support for diagnosing PHC issues.

Gabriel brings 18 years of experience in the plant healthcare field, including USDA research, horticulturalist for a botanical garden, and starting a small fruit farm while living in Hawaii. His most recent experience as a research associate with the University of California Natural Resource Division includes invasive tree insects such as shothole borer and goldspotted oak borer.

Gabriel holds a bachelor's degree in Plant Health Science from the California State University of Fresno.

In his free time, he enjoys surfing, hiking, veggie gardening, board games, ultimate frisbee, disc golf, plants, and spending time with family and friends.

“We are excited to welcome Gabe to our team as our newest Arborologist based in Southern California. Gabe’s experience with invasive species management and extensive knowledge of plants, especially California native plants, will be great assets to our team and our clients,” said Patrick Anderson, Lead Arborologist.
