Jib Davidson started Florida Forestry Services, a timber consulting firm, in 1984. As a timber consulting company, Florida Forestry Services managed timberland and sold timber on a client fee basis. The company's services included timber appraisals, timber market analysis, developing forest management plans, analyzing timber investment opportunities, site preparation and overseeing the planting of thousands of acres, bought and sold timberland for their customers, analyzed landowner timber tax situations and sold timber.

The focus was primarily on private landowners and industrial timberland. Norman McRae joined Florida Forestry Services in 1987, when a friendship blossomed. In early 1989, Florida Forestry Services added an important dimension to its timber management program. As a consulting forestry company, it was obvious that Florida Forestry Services was unnecessarily charging timber sale fees and, as a consultant, its timber market information was somewhat out of touch with the timber industry.

The pair of foresters decided to join forces and created Columbia Timber Company in 1989. It was a logical extension of the timber consulting business. Columbia Timber Company is a timber dealer and land management company utilizing professional foresters and state-of-the-art computerized technology to assist clients with land management. Along the way Jib and Norman developed a Timber Investment Program (TIP) that successfully integrates established financial analysis techniques with traditional forest management techniques.
