Meet the Brain Power Behind It All
From a small shop over 35 years ago, to today’s expansive team, PES is your partner
Executive Team


I bring over 20 years of experience in marketing and sales, and try to champion our core values, especially humor. I am a passionate chef – I even completed a boot camp at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) – but I still remain a frustrated golfer. As an Oregon State fan, you’ll find me sporting orange and black when Kelly’s not around, yelling “GO BEAVS!”


I’m an Oregon native with 25+ years of experience in the industry. I have a passion for forestry, so leading the forestry division comes naturally to me. In my free time, you can find me enjoying the outdoors and playing with my grandkids.
