John values the hands-on, field-based side of forestry and working directly with clients and landowners to help them reach their goals in an economically and ecologically sound way. He appreciates that AFM's small-office structure allows for a personalized level of attention, while still giving him access to the broader resources, experience, and knowledge of the larger organization whenever a complex project arises.

Growing up in Houston, Texas, John wanted a career that was outdoor-oriented and would keep him away from a big-city environment. Forestry offered him that combination of working in the field while also making a meaningful difference in natural resource management.

Yes. Through AFM's structure, John has access to colleagues across the organization who bring specialized experience, knowledge, and skills to any project he may encounter. This means that even if a particular project is outside his direct experience, he can draw on AFM's internal network to ensure clients receive expert guidance and support.
