About The Owner

Hobart has sawdust in his blood. Like his great grandfather, an early 20th century sawmill entrepreneur who owned a schooner to ship product from his dock on the Keewanee Peninsula to the Chicago train yards, Hobart has a trucking company to move his raw materials and ship his product.

He started his own sawmill in 1976, and, like his grandfather before him, developed a niche manufacturing white cedar shingles. In the early 1990’s he sold his lumber interests to focus on a trucking company he still runs today. But his true love is cedar, and he couldn’t resist the opportunity to start White Cedar Shingles & Lumber. By the way, the 100-year-old white cedar shingles that Hobart’s great-grandfather used when he built the family homestead are still adorning it today.
