If they say that they are going to get me an employment agreement and pay monthly I see it as a good opportunity. They have restructured the company and they are now heading in the right direction.

Yes I will be the COO of AZFL of their Brazilian Division. All the papers are signed. It is not like the last time when I went for an interview and suddenly was COO on their website. They did not pay me and they did not have me sign anything.

Mr. Stebbins brings on board more than 20 years of experience in directing similar wood products operations having been Production Manager and later Marketing Director for Precious Woods, another major wood products manufacturer in Brazil that is also public.

Pepper Stebbins is very familiar with Brazil having made his home there for a dozen years. The co-owner of Next Door Brewing lived in Itacoatiara, a small city on the Amazon River. "I went down there to work at plywood veneer mill, with the job of recovering logs at bottom of the Amazon," he says, "then I went to a forest management project." This work was with Precious Woods, a sustainable forestry company whose operations in Brazil are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and was recognized by Greenpeace and the Rainforest Alliance. While living there, Stebbins built a family. "My wife Joana is Brazilian, and our two kids were born there," he says. Moving on from forestry, he and his wife opened a bed-and-breakfast in Itacoatiara and provided tours of the nearby rainforest. Stebbins also spent time angling in Amazonia's waters, catching piranha and other fish. Returning to the U.S. in 2008, he last visited Brazil in November 2012 as a competitor on the National Geographic program King Fishers, seeking to hook peacock bass.
