President
Jeff started his career at 15 in his uncle's sawmill, learning the craft from the ground up before rising through the ranks to become President of Merrimac. Known for his meticulous attention to detail and his dedication to mentoring the next generation of woodworkers, Jeff leads by example every day on the mill floor. He lives with his wife Amanda and their two daughters in a modern log home — and still finds time for the golf course and keeping a perfect lawn.

Vice President
Amanda is often the first voice new customers hear when they call Merrimac — and the warmth and expertise she brings to that first conversation says everything about the company's culture. She built her deep industry knowledge through years of hands-on job site experience, and she applies that same ground-level understanding to overseeing operations every day. Outside the office, Amanda enjoys Florida winters, gardening, speed reading, and cooking for the family.

A painter and artist by background, Carson brings a creative eye to everything he does at Merrimac. He collaborates closely with Jeff French on unique custom design concepts, helping clients translate artistic vision into buildable log home plans. When he's not working, Carson is outside — hiking, exploring, or splitting wood. He and Lia are building their southern Maine log home, and Maisey approves of the plans.

Mill Worker
Originally from Jacksonville, North Carolina, Anthony brings a combination of precision craft and great energy to the Merrimac mill floor. A skilled forklift operator and a legendary grillmaster, he's most proud of his dovetail work — a detail that takes patience, a steady hand, and a real feel for the wood. Anthony's philosophy in one phrase: patience, teamwork, and safety. Family time and backyard bonfires are how he recharges.
