Why did you pursue a career in forestry?
Growing up, I enjoyed spending time outdoors, hunting, fishing, and camping. In high school, I knew I wanted to work in a field where I would be outdoors, even though I didn’t know exactly what that field would be. Upon graduation from high school, I envisioned working as either a Park Ranger in a national park or as a Wildlife Biologist for a state or federal agency. I began my college studies working towards that goal and hadn’t even thought about pursuing a career in forestry. During my sophomore year in college, I began to reevaluate my field of study. A high school friend’s father was a District Forester for the West Virginia Division of Forestry, and during a discussion with him while home during a break, he encouraged me to consider getting a degree in forestry. From that discussion, as they say, the rest is history. I ended up transferring to West Virginia University and earning my forestry degree. Some 30 years later, I’m still getting to fulfill my vision of working in a field where I get to be and enjoy the outdoors.
What do you like the most about your role with AFM?
I most enjoy interacting with and building relationships with our clients. I also enjoy the challenge of fulfilling the forestry or property management objectives our clients have entrusted to me and my team. I enjoy the diversity of the clients we get to work with and the diversity of the projects that I have been fortunate to work on; no two clients, projects, or properties are ever the same.
