Hey Guys i havent been here in a while, bought a house out of forclosure and been remodeling at my own pace so that takes a lot of time up.  I don't have as much exp as you other guys and work for the feds so my exp is limited to the public sector.

I am a graduate of clemson university 04' and then went to work for the Army and then left after a little over a year to go get my MFR (masters of forest resources) 06'.  While still in school i was hired by the Army Corps of Engineers as an assistant forester.  I now manage the sales program for Military bases and the Civil Project lands in the Savannah District.  Been here for the last 3 years, so if you dont count school (graduate yrs) i have 4 yrs.

My expertise would be in the timber sale area on the selling side, i do a little management but just enough to make me thirst for more.

I was just reading through this thread and there is very impressive amount of knowledge and experience on here. If a person gets on this forum and can't find the answers to their questions they might need to open their ears and mind a bit more.
