Location Summerville, SC, United States
Introduction I am a forester (A.A.S in Forest Tech. from Paul Smiths, B.S. in Forest Management from NC State and an MBA from Murray State Univ). My career began as a Land Acquisition Forester in WV & OH with the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Co. (Westvaco's predecessor) Temporary assignments included appraisals for land sales in SC, GA and PA. The next five years found me buying land in MS, TN, MO, IL, AR and KY. Next, I found myself selling most of what we had purchased over those years. Between buying and selling I was involved with land management and technical activities ranging from silviculture to IT management and VP of Westvaco Development Corp. I "finished" my career at the Forest Technology Group where my focus was on bringing GIS technology to the forestry community via the web. I also own and manage Tree Farms in NY and SC. Currently I consult with industry analysts, institutional investors and TIMOs. Visit www.timberland strategies.com
