Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott has the opportunity to visit Flint Forest Products, LLC in Greenville, Georgia. Kerry James, 43, and Chip Daniels, 44, the owners of Flint Forest Products, LLC, didn’t start their careers as loggers, but they have always been close to the woods. They grew up knowing each other—their fathers both worked for Great Southern Paper Co. for nearly 40 years, before Georgia Pacific bought it. As adults, James and Daniels both worked as procurement foresters for a timber company for about 10 years. In that capacity they also managed a lot of the day-to-day operations for the wood dealer, and oversaw several company logging crews. This meant they both got certified as master timber harvesters through the University of Georgia. When the recession caused that company to start downsizing, James and Daniels decided that wouldn’t stop them.
