Founder & CEO, Green Fenix

Bryson Reaume lives in Sierra Madre, CA and is a local entrepreneur who has built and scaled multiple companies in construction, development, and real estate. When the Eaton Fire devastated Altadena, destroying homes, trees, and decades of neighborhood character, Bryson felt called to act.

Determined to turn loss into renewal, he founded Green Fenix to bring back what was lost: mature trees, beauty, and hope for the families and community he loves. Using his experience in the private sector leading large-scale projects and partnerships, Bryson is focused on delivering an immediate, lasting impact for Altadena — one fully grown tree at a time.
