ABOUT US

Three generations, family owned since 1975


​James established himself in the lumber business over 40 years ago. His life long passion for the industry started when he began logging with mules as a boy with his father. In 1965 he attended the National Hardwood Lumber school in Memphis, Tennessee and shortly afterwards he purchased his first sawmill in Brownsville, Kentucky. He went on to form James Ritter Lumber in 1975. Since then, he and his children and grand-children have grown the company into a solid lumber business with multiple locations. And today, JRL is home to nearly 100 hard working employees.


With three generations of our family now working in the business, we are committed to its success. To us, that means running the business with hard work and integrity, values passed down from our founder and father, James Ritter.
