Since college I've held a number of different positions ranging from Indian Tribe presales forester in Washington to Service Forester in NE Ohio.  I bought standing timber for a time in Indiana as well.  When my wife and I moved back to SW Ohio two years ago I used it as an opportunity to start my own consulting business and formed Mission Forestry Consulting, LLC (Mission Forestry Consulting, LLC - Mission Forestry Consulting LLC Home).  Moving to self employment has been, at times, a painful learning curve but so far I'm enjoying the rewarding work.  Things are slowly building, as to be expected when starting from scratch, but business has been good enough to justify continued efforts and see where it can go.  This forum has been a big help over the years (long time lurker) so I appreciate the folks running it.  If I can be of any help to the members of this forum please let me know.
