Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott travels to Glen Allen, Virginia to visit Hanneman Forest Products. John-Scott Hanneman, 24, and his brother Evan, 23, were both brought up working in Hanneman Forest Products, LLC. The business was started by their parents, John and Donna Hanneman, in 1995. The brothers are 14 months apart. John-Scott was still a baby when their father was in his fourth year of studies for an environmental science degree at the University of Virginia while his wife was pregnant with Evan. By the end of that year, John had John-Scott in his arms as he walked at graduation, while newborn Evan was in Donna’s lap. The professor who handed him his diploma said, “Here we have both the oldest and the youngest graduate tonight.” “Truthfully?” John Hanneman, now 60, offers when asked how the company came into being.
