Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott travels to South Boston, Virginia to spend some time with KeJ’aeh Enterprises LLC. It’s been only three years since 2011, but in the short time since then Kevin Hodges, 31, has grown his company, KeJ’aeh Enterprises LLC, into one of the biggest producers in his part of the state. Excited about his accomplishments and eager to accomplish more, one thing is for certain: Hodges is just getting started. “My hobby is logging,” Hodges says. Even a hobby can cause stress, he notes, but says the stress from logging doesn’t bother him. “I just love it that much.” Prior to starting KeJ’aeh in April that year, Hodges had been working for his dad Kenneth Hodges, President of H&M Logging, also in South Boston (Virginia Loggers Assn. Executive Director Jim Mooney wrote a feature article on Kenneth Hodges, which appeared in the May 2006 issue of Southern Loggin’ Times).
