Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Associate Editor Jessica Johnson visits Performance Logging in Philadelphia, Mississippi. Two days in a hospital’s Intensive Care Unit for a brain bleed will change you. Or, in the case of Mississippi logger Drew Sullivan, it made him more committed than ever to keeping his job site as safe and as clean as possible. Sullivan says he doesn’t remember a lick of what happened that day, but he’s heard the stories about it from his dad, Gary, and his wife, Kelly. According to them, he was up on his loader, an old machine with leaks that often left it too greasy, when he slipped and fell, hitting the outrigger. Sullivan’s company Performance Logging had been in business for three months at the time. When the crew arrived for work later that morning, they found him rolling around on the ground under the loader, semi-conscious, and assumed he had a concussion.
