Pete adds a lot of liveliness to our trading floor, and his sense of humor has helped define our laid-back company culture. When he’s not selling lumber, he likes weekly trips to the farmers’ market, and playing tennis with friends.
Karrie Williams
Panels & Plywood Manager
Karrie’s favorite quote pretty much describes her career in a nutshell: “I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have,” (Thomas Jefferson). She made the courageous leap from an adminstrative position to sales on a trading floor similar to ours in 2004. Karrie loves lounging on the beach in Hawaii, and is immensely proud of her two daughters she shares with her husband of 25 years.
