Steve Lindberg began his
career as a forestry consultant in 1977 after obtaining a B.S. Degree in Forestry
with a concentration in Forest Management from the University of New Hampshire.
Steve’s forestry career
began before college graduation as a part time employee of Bickford Lumber
Company in Tamworth, New Hampshire. He
did custom sawing for local farmers and landowners on weekends. Coupled with the weekend mill work he became a Dendrology
Lab Teaching Assistant for Dr. Tom Adams and a Wood Technology Teaching Assistant for Dr. John Hill at the University of New Hampshire Forestry
Departments and School of Natural Resources.
During the summers Steve was employed by the U.S. Forest Service in the
White Mountains of New Hampshire. This
led to an 8 month appointment with U.S.F.S. following graduation from UNH in
May of 1977.
In September of 1977
Steve had an opportunity to work for a large forestry consulting firm, The James M. Vardaman Company, Inc., based out
of Jackson Mississippi. He worked as a
woods supervisor in Columbus GA for a year and then was appointed Branch
Manager of the company’s Richmond VA office where he was promoted in 1982 to
Vice President. During this tenure Steve
was responsible for forest management activities and timber sales in Virginia,
West Virginia and Maryland as well as real estate sales in Virginia.
The above experience led
Steve to open Timber Marketing & Management, Inc. in 1985 in Richmond
Virginia. In 1988 Timber Marketing &
Management, Inc. moved their offices to Chesterfield Virginia. In 1989 Steve formed a joint venture with
Edwin Orr and opened an office in Raleigh North Carolina. The North Carolina operations are now owned
and operated by Edwin Orr.
Steve and Edwin continue
to assist and work with each other to offer clients a regional perspective to
their approach of forest management.
This association allows the 2 companies to cooperate together in many
ways including sharing their staff during times of high demand. Steve and Edwin together with their seasonal
and experienced staffs work together on large real estate transactions and
anytime their combined knowledge will benefit their clients.
At Timber Marketing &
Management, Inc. Steve continues to utilize his extensive forest management and
real estate expertise by working with private timberland owners
in maximizing their timberland investment returns and enjoyment of ownership.
