Get to know our Team!!
This is Mark.
Mark was the first sales guy hired by Brad when Prime was only a few years old. Learning and training directly under Brad in a shared office, Mark learned first hand all the ins and outs of the lumber industry.
Born in Germany, Mark grew up as an Army brat, and lived all up and down the East Coast with his family.
Now settled in Portland, when Mark isn’t working you can find him outdoors - camping, snowboarding or at concerts with friends.
If you will be at NAWLA's Trader's Market this week - Look for Mark!

Prime Forest is PEFC Certified 🌳🌲
What does that mean? And why does it matter to you?
PEFC certified means that the forest-based materials being used come from legal and sustainable sources.
With sustainability being more and more important and necessary, becoming PEFC certified was a no brainer for Prime! Being able to provide a responsible environmental choice is something Prime is proud to give to our customers!
The simple double tree green logo is internationally recognized! The little logo is able to communicate to our customers we as a company value responsible, long term, sustainable reforestation.
The PEFC label is the most trusted global Forest certification. To learn more about the material Prime uses visit us at primeforest.com
Visit pefc.org to learn more about the certification and while there look up Prime’s COC-004291 🌳🌲

Prime loves to invest in their employees so in turn we can invest in our customers. NAWLA’s Wood Basic Program is something we strive to get all our our new employees to attend within the first few years they start working for us.
Today our President, Brad, was on their expert panel to discuss current state, future state and answer any questions to the newer generation of the industry.

This is Jessica.
Jessica started in the lumber industry over four years ago as a stacker and grader. Since she has been with Prime, she’s worked her way up from production supervisor to Plant Manager and now she is expanding her knowledge and skills into sales. Everyone here can’t wait to see where this new role will take her and how she will exceed at this too!
In her spare time Jessica likes to stay active with hiking, fishing and working out so she can indulge in fine dining and home cooked meals. She also makes it a goal to do at least one challenging thing a year. Last weekend she participated in Portland’s Spartan Race (swipe for pics) with her partner Aren.

As a family-owned and operated business, we are making strong, future-focused commitments to stewardship and sustainability. Our FSC and PEFC certifications provide assurance that our products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits.
Prime Forest has partnered with @onetreeplanted over the past few years to make sure we are living up to our promises. They focus on reforestation across the globe. One Tree Planted has planted trees in 28 countries, over 10 million trees and restored 15,000 hectares of land.
Two trees planted for every one tree harvested! Meaning for every 1,000 bf ordered, Prime will plant 2 trees!!
In 2020, Prime donated 19,600 trees in Oregon, Michigan, Washington and British Columbia, Canada.
In 2021, Prime donated 42,068 trees around the world!
In 2022? Still 5 full months to place orders and in turn help Prime plant more trees!
