Our forestry team brings extensive experience and expertise to the job.
Bob Williams stopped in and talked with Dan Wightman just
after Wightman’s had purchased a tractor trailer about part time work. Part
time lasted 2 weeks and Bob has been busy working full time driving the
log truck for 13 years. Prior to working for Wightman’s Bob had 10 years of
logging experience.
Bob enjoys being on the road, seeing the country side and
getting to meet many different people. In his spare time Bob enjoys singing as
a member of Steppin Out, Barbershop Quartet and the Oneonta chapter of
Midstatesman Chorus. Steppin Out will be performing at our annual open house on
Oct. 5, 2013. Please plan to join us.
Ben Williams has spent his adult life around logging and
milling. After spending 10 years logging independently he joined Wightman’s
starting out on the green chain (stacking lumber). He then moved in to the
maintenance department, then to a logging crew. Around 5 years ago he returned
mill to drive log trucks and do maintenance on the large trucks.
Ben tells me he enjoys being on the road and being outdoors.
He does not mind the extreme weather conditions because he enjoys what he does
so much. With 20 years experience he must love what he does.
The math:
Ben brings 20 years, Bob 23 years, Tom 14 years and Chris 18
years. A total year of experience for our forestry team is an amazing 75 years.
Added this to the previously introduced employees we are now up to 330 years of
experience. It is no wonder that Wightman Specialty Woods produces the top
quality wood products!
