Don Overmyer founded Linden Lumber in 1963 and has overseen the transformation of Linden from a 10-man operation on “the Hill” to the 250-employee company that it is today. It is through Don’s innovative spirit the company has grown into the Linden we know today – never afraid to push Linden’s operations beyond the norm of the time, seeking new markets, and helping market the hardwood industry as a whole. Although Don is formally retired from Linden Lumber, most days you can still find him strolling through the sawmill and drying yards. Don lives in Linden, Alabama along with his wife Marjorie within a stone’s throw of the mill drying yards.
