CCH: Looking backward at your path, was there someone who influenced you?

JS: For me, the LBM industry has always been a family affair. My Dad set everything in motion when he bought a small lumberyard in Bayfield, Wisconsin when I was twelve. He believed in hard work and made sure I learned that early. I loaded and unloaded trucks by hand, no forklifts. I worked at the yard, eventually managed it, bought it, and later sold it. My father’s dedication to the business and his work ethic left an impression on me and was always with me especially as I continued growing and learning.

CCH: What is advice that you received that you could share with someone starting in this industry?
