Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott travels to Starkville, Mississippi to visit David Breazeale Logging LLC. At first glance, the story of David Breazeale, 42, might not look much different than any typical southern logger. Like many in the business, he inherited his company, David Breazeale Logging LLC, from his father (though unfortunately it wasn’t that simple or cut and dried). Like many in the business, he grew up working in the woods, as his father had done before him, and his grandfather before that. Like most, he’s had his ups and downs. But look closer, and the view of Breazeale’s experience of the logging business becomes far less ordinary. Breazeale was born into a logging family. His great grandfather sawmilled; so did his grandfather, who started logging with Breazeale’s father (David, Sr.) in the late ’60s; it was called Breazeale Logging and Lumber then.
