Timberlark didn't come from a Silicon Valley boardroom. It came from 12 years on the ground in Florida timber country — from someone who lived every problem the platform solves.
Jeanine Bradbury spent 12 years working in the Florida timber industry — running crews, hauling loads, negotiating with mills, and waiting 60 to 90 days for checks that were always late and never explained.
She experienced every problem Timberlark solves before she built a single line of code. The hidden mill prices. The loggers getting underpaid because they had no way to compare rates. The landowners selling timber for far less than it was worth because they only got one bid.
She built Timberlark because she couldn't find it anywhere else. Not as a side project — as the platform she wished had existed every single day she worked in the woods.
"I know this industry from the ground up — the mud on the boots, the waiting on checks that never come on time, the phone calls trying to find work. I built Timberlark because I lived every problem it solves."
The timber industry runs on relationships and handshakes — and that's worth preserving. But it also runs on information asymmetry that consistently benefits the largest players and leaves loggers, landowners, and small operators behind. That same broken system exists across every EUDR-regulated commodity — cattle, coffee, cocoa, palm oil, soy, rubber, and freight.
Timberlark doesn't replace the relationships. It levels the information playing field. When every logger can see what mills actually pay, when every landowner can get multiple bids, when every supply chain step is recorded on the VeChain blockchain and verifiable by any EU customs authority — the whole industry gets more honest, more efficient, and more sustainable. All 8 commodity sectors. Live today. 13 countries and growing.
Timberlark is operated by Still Stumpin Logging Inc. — a Florida-based corporation founded by Jeanine Bradbury. The company holds the platform, IP filings, and all operational contracts under the Timberlark brand.

Eric understood what his mother was building here. Not just the code, not just the features — the why behind all of it. He was 25 years old, and he was the kind of person who didn't put up with lies or underhanded behavior. He told it like it was. He believed in loyalty and trust above everything else — not as ideals, but as the standard he held himself and everyone around him to, every single day.
He was murdered in his own home — the place where he and his mother sat and had coffee — by someone she had opened their door to when that person had nothing. She brought him in out of love for a friend she had lost. That act of kindness was met with the worst possible betrayal.
Eric did not get to see what Timberlark becomes. But he is in every piece of it.
When Timberlark says it will never sell your data — that is Eric. He didn't believe in using people. When it says it will never hide a negative review — that is Eric. He believed in telling the truth even when it was hard. When it says it will never take a cut of your deal — that is Eric. No underhanded fees. No quiet skims. No games. When it records every supply chain step on a blockchain that cannot be altered — that is Eric. A record that cannot be lied about, backdated, or manipulated. Ever.
His mother built this platform to survive losing him — and to make sure that the world he believed was possible, a world where people are honest with each other and support one another, is not just an idea but a system. Something real. Something that works for real people doing real work.
"We all have to live on this planet. Why not be kind, support one another, and celebrate each other's accomplishments? There is so much division because people can't trust each other. Timberlark is my answer to that. It is Eric's answer to that."
