Why did you pursue a career in forestry? Growing up, my Dad was a forester, and he stayed with the same organization until retirement. It seemed to be a stable, relatively low-stress career. I started in forestry at college. The classes were interesting to me, so I ended up with a degree and a job after graduation.

What do you like the most about your role with AFM? The variety of work is interesting. I get to work with a mix of people and operations.
