Other Personnel Updates

In addition to Garrett Kleiner joining IFM, another Oregon State University Forestry Graduate has been hired, Joe Koenig. Joe also holds an ecology degree from Central Washington University and has previously worked on the Washington coast in consulting forestry. His experience includes working on his family’s forestland, forest inventory, timber sale set-up and operating logging equipment. Joe grew up in Southern Idaho.
On a bittersweet note, we share that Dennis Parent will be retiring at the end of the year after a distinguished career. Dennis had a long career with Inland Empire Paper Company and later founded his own consulting forestry business, DRP Forestry. With an eye toward succession planning, he sold his company to IFM and has been a highly valued member of our team ever since. We wish Dennis and Jennifer all the best in their retirement adventures!
