What is your favorite part of working for Big Creek? My favorite part about working for Big Creek Lumber is the familiar faces you see all the time at the store and yard. I feel like I know these customers pretty well!
What’s your favorite product that we sell? Redwood decking would have to be #1. Here in Santa Cruz there is always someone in need of a deck to enjoy the view!
What do you like to do for fun? On my free time, I usually spend time with my family, go to the gym to get a workout in, and love going on cruises up along Highway 1 North and South.
