Meet the Staff!
Jake Latvala
Jake started out as a manager at Walmart, and was just a hobbyist woodworker on the side, building tables for friends and family. He decided to take his bonus one year and buy a sawmill so he could learn how to mill his own lumber, but quickly found out he could make more money milling lumber for other people than he was at Walmart! This inspired him to quit his job and start milling full time, and since then he has quickly grown his company into what it is today. He now has his own line of epoxy resin, with dozens of distributors all across the United States and Canada!
Jacob Wilson
Jacob joined Ol Loggin Sawmill in 2020, bringing his passion for woodworking that started back in 2017—thanks to a little help from YouTube. After a couple of years exploring careers as a real estate agent and flooring installation, Jacob decided to pursue work in a field that truly interested him. He found Ol Loggin Sawmill at its beginning and has been with us ever since. Today, he manages everything from building and maintaining our website to overseeing all our e-commerce channels and tackling any tech-related tasks. Outside of work, Jacob enjoys playing music, gaming, and practicing Muay Thai.
Andrew Boggess
Andrew started at Ol Loggin Sawmill in July of 2022. He has been woodworking for two years and taught himself most of what he knows through trial-and-error. Most of his free time is spent making coasters, cutting boards, and turning pens (he even had rings at one point). He also enjoys pyrography as well.
