Ask my wife, I have always loved trees… I studied Applied Ecology and went on to manage my own Ecotoxicolgy Lab in the Pulp & Paper Industry.  I changed fields to become Sales Manager for an FRP Industrial Fan Manufacturer, then came to work in Lumber Trading.

I started working for Summit Forest Products in 2004 who later merged with Canadian Wood Products in 2010.  I happily joined Skana Forest Products in May 2020. My 16 years of trading has primarily been SPF products, along with DF, HF and SYP. I sell into the Midwest down to Southwest and Northeast to Southeast in the US market.

When I’m not trading lumber I spend my time with my amazing family, camping, cycling or starting a new project at the house. More than happy to help you with your lumber needs so give me a shout at 514-316-3022 or email me at slim@skana.com.
