ABOUT THE WOODSMAN

     I graduated from the State University of New York, College of Environmental Science and Forestry with a B.S. in Forest Engineering (1998).  Responding to a life-long desire to serve in the military I made a radical decision and enlisted in the USMC as an Infantryman.  10 days after graduating college I found myself on the historic yellow footprints at Parris Island, SC.  After 15 years of active duty and being promoted to a desk I elected to take the Marine Corps up on a rare, but timely, opportunity to retire early as a Major in 2013.

 

     Jesus became real to me in 2008 and radically changed my heart.  This business is a culmination of the various passions he wove within me.  I love the outdoors, physical activity, problem-solving, physics, and serving the needs of others.  Outside of spending time with my wife and three children, there is no other thing I would rather be doing.  To work as a steward of God's magnificent creation is a privilege that brings me great joy.

 

     The Woodsman started out as a tree service business.  However, after attending an urban wood use conference in 2016 I caught the milling bug.  Soon after I invested in an Alaskan Chainsaw Mill and a very inexpensive, small, manual bandsaw mill.  The results were awesome, but the process was painfully slow.  With the size of the trees I was taking down and considering the sheer volume of wood I was dealing with I invested in the Timberking 2500.
