Brian Shepley
I am Brian Shepley. I studied Wood Science and Forest Products Marketing at Virginia Tech and I have been working in the wood products industry since 2002. I started out in mill sales for a SYP manufacturer in VA and then started with RIFP in 2004. It was the relationship part of our business that first attracted me to it and I am very thankful for all the friends and business partners I have gained so far in my career.
I have a lovely wife of 6 years and 2 children. Our son Mason Cole Shepley just joined us on Jan 26, 2010 and Maggie (our dog) has been with us for 8 years. In my spare time I fish, hunt, and ride motorcycles.

Linda Hull
I am Linda Hull. I am originally from Connecticut and raised in New England. I attended UNC-Wilmington on a Division 1 golf scholarship, and I'll still bet ya on the first tee. I love playing acoustic guitar, cooking, and traveling. NYC and any island with a beach and a coconut drink are my favorite vacation spots. I live in the city of Richmond with my German Shepherd and Rottweiler. I've been trading here since 1995, since my Golf Pro and Rock star careers didn't pan out. I'm glad to be here.

Paul McDaniel
I am Paul McDaniel from Wytheville, VA. I was born and raised in SWVA and this is my first time living in a city. I received my education from the best University in the country, Virginia Tech. After spending the six best years of my life in Blacksburg (B.S in Forest Products in 2001 and a M.S. in Forest Products Marketing in 2003) I went to work for Farm Credit and Country Mortgages in Wytheville. I enjoyed my career as a loan officer a lot, but I was presented with the opportunity to come to work for RIFP in March of 2006 and it was an opportunity to good to pass up. I have enjoyed my first two years as a SYP trader and look forward to many more here at Richmond.
My wife (Melanie) and I got married in April of 07 and have enjoyed our first year of marriage. We have been living in Richmond for 2 years two dogs (Natali and Daisy) and our two cats (Rona and Jo). I'm a huge fan of almost all sports, but my favorites include college football and basketball along with pro football and baseball. Of course I'm a huge Hokie fan (maybe the biggest) and also cheer for the Redskins and the Reds. Melanie and I enjoy going to the lake on any warm weekend where we ski, wakeboard, and just hang out on the boat with friends

Clayton Williams
Hi, my name is Clayton Williams and I am from Chesterfield, Va. After graduating from high school, I attended college at Christopher Newport University in Newport News, VA.
Shortly after college, I began my career working for Roper Lumber Company where I learned all aspects of roof truss manufacturing and quickly became a certified roof truss designer. After 4 years in the design department, I relocated back to the Richmond area where I assumed the Central Virginia sales territory. In 2009, I decided to move into the lumber wholesale business and joined the Pine Department here at Richmond International Forest Products to help supply roof truss manufacturers.
In my time away from work, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my friends and family. During the spring and summer, all of my time is spent between the boat on Lake Chesdin or on the Potomac River and long weekends in Nags Head. I also enjoy playing golf and am a huge sports fan (mostly college football, GO HOKIES!)
