The WCMA Board of Directors is pleased to welcome Ryan Peterson as the newest Director. Peterson has been with Northern Hardwoods since 2015 serving as the Lumber Sales Manager and Business Development Manager. When asked how he got his start in the wood industry he said “After completing my under-grad in education, my first job was at St. Croix Valley Hardwoods.  I spent 7 years learning about hardwood lumber manufacturing, hardwood component manufacturing, as well as building material distribution.”
​
Northern Hardwoods has been a WCMA Member for 10 years. Ryan shared his take on membership by stating “Businesses should become actively involved in industry associations to remain up to speed on changes in the industry, trends in markets, upgrades to technology, continuous improvement opportunities, and networking opportunities.  We enjoy using trade association tours and meetings to expose some of our front line supervisors and operation managers to end user operations and opportunities to understand other manufacturing practices.”

In his free time, you’ll find Ryan playing golf or spending time traveling with family. “My wife, I, and our two daughters are huge Wisconsin Badger fans and take in as many football, basketball, and volleyball games as possible.”

Ryan replaces outgoing Director Charles Kratzer and will serve a 3-year term on the WCMA Board. Click HERE for a complete WCMA Board of Directors listing.
