Matthew Seals of the Tazewell FFA chapter in New Tazewell, Tennessee, grew up with logger for a father and would constantly beg to help him with his work. When he was 10, his father gave him the green light. His first task was to strap logs down on logging trucks. Today, after completing a master logger class, he can help with nearly any aspect of the operation. He plans to further his education and obtain a degree in forestry. Seals is supported by parents Sonya and Jimmy and FFA advisors Jamie Mundy Ball. This award is sponsored by John Deere and RAM Trucks.
