March 2022

We’d like to wish Ken McCrary a very happy retirement! Ken began his career with Big Creek while in high school on a part-time basis. After serving in the United States Marine Corps for 2.5 years, Ken joined Big Creek full time and has worked in a broad variety of roles up until his current role of Vice President. During his time with Big Creek, Ken was at the heart of a number of significant IT projects that helped bring Big Creek into the digital age to enhance our business processes and better serve our customers. After his retirement, Ken will continue his involvement with Big Creek in his role as a Director on the Big Creek Lumber Board, spend time with his family and tackle many projects that he has been looking forward to.

We’d like to thank Ken for all his contributions over the years and wish him a very happy retirement.
