MARIANNA, Fla. Running a logging business wasn't always what Russell Scott, 53, set L V out to do in life. First he served in v the military, both in the Army Rangers v. and Army Special Forces. When he fin- S. ) ished his service, he returned home and while in school, the chance to buy timber popped up. He formed his own timber brokerage after a while, and as his company grew, the need to get standing timber cut and hauled grew withit. While he had some great contractors, it just became a little more of a headache than he wanted, so he stepped out in the early 2000s and started his own harvesting operation, a small crew with four trucks. That crew expanded into a second, and then a third. Now Coastal Forestry Services operates three four-man crews and keeps 15 trucks rolling daily.
