New Beginnings

September huh? I guess with the changing weather comes a change in attitude and some exciting news.

My friend Michael Anderson and I are in the process of expanding his already successful forestry and natural resources company. As of now I will be representing Iowa Natural Resources Corporation in the western side of Iowa.

We focus primarily on timber stand improvement projects (TSI), prescribed burning plans and applications, reforestation with tree plantings, consultation expertise, and our newly designated niche of utilization of reclaimed material from these projects to create beautiful handcrafted logworks with the possibility of loghome construction in the future.

We combine Mike's expertise in midwestern natural resource work and knowledge with my constructive and creative woodworking backgrounds to form a partnership that is second to none in regards to quality and diligence. It doesn't hurt that we've worked together in the past in professional logging environments before and have a good history of teamwork dating back to forestry classes at ISU.

I believe I bring solid leadership, people management skills, equipment operation, creative problem solving, and a key desire to understand people and know them on a personal basis. I know that we are creating a solid team and look forward to our growth in the near future.

It's certainly a work in progress, hard work at times, but very worthwhile. I am excited to see where we can take this because the sky is definitely not even the limit.
