Jeff Wilson -

Jeff is a veteran of the forestry profession in southeast Indiana. He began working in a sawmill at a young age and then went on to own and operate his own logging business for 20 years. When Joe Schuerman offered Jeff the chance to work with him as a partner in Schuerman Forestry Service, Jeff took him up on the opportunity to change career paths. Jeff’s experience as a logger and timber buyer give him a valuable skillset in marketing timber that few others in the Forestry consulting field possess.
