Joe Burlison

Joe Burlison is the Vice President of Southwest Operations for LBM Advantage. Burlison has a rich history in the lumber and building industry. Upon graduating with a Bachelor of Administration from Baylor University, he began his career as an Assistant Manager at a lumber and hardware chain. His desire for professional growth led him to a position at building materials manufacturer Louisiana Pacific, where he successfully managed mill sales and a distribution yard in Houston, TX. A period in the lumber hedge program at a major energy company provided him with a solid knowledge of lumber futures that later propelled him into a twenty-year career as a Southwest U.S. Regional Territory Manager for a large lumber and building cooperative. Joe has been a major force in member acquisition and development of large lumber dealers. His lifetime of experience in the south-central and Texas markets and his deep understanding of independent lumberyards and home centers are instrumental to LBM Advantage’s Southwest and Westward expansion efforts.
