About Me

America's second largest landowner, Archie Aldis "Red" Emmerson and his family own some 2.4 million acres across the nation. His Sierra Pacific Industries is the largest private lumber production firm in the nation, with 18 sawmills across California, Oregon and Washington. Emmerson and his father Curly started SPI in 1949. It went public in 1969 but four years later they bought out their partner and took it private. Today, Red's sons George and Mark run the firm as president and chairman, respectively, though Red is still at the office nearly every day.
