“I started at Stringfellow Lumber on January 4th 1982. I’ve been doing this a long time! I feel like sawdust is in my blood. I am the 5th generation of the Fisher family to be in the lumber industry. Most of my predecessors were sawmillers, but I had the great fortune to work with my father, Don Fisher, in the wholesale business for 33 years. He taught me a lot. Today, I work with a fantastic group of ladies and gentlemen who are true professionals. They know and protect Stringfellow’s reputation throughout the industry. A reputation that is 110 years old. A reputation of doing what we say we are going to do. A reputation of being partnered with our mills, perhaps junior partners, but partners. Simply put, living by the adage that the right way and the hard way are usually the same.”
