Weikko is responsible for LandVest's Client Services across North America.

Mr. Jaross provides expert level direction on systems integration and forest management planning services across a wide range of client specific requirements, legal environments, and data service needs.

Weikko has developed a niche for increasing value and certainty in forestland transactions by coupling his experience from actively managing forestlands with registered carbon projects, forest certification, and his approach to optimizing for timber, conservation, and carbon.

In addition to his LandVest responsibilities, Weikko collaborates with the University of Washington and the University of Chile. He is an investigator and co-author of applied optimization research in forest resources. Recent published work involved the optimization of road management across the western Olympia Peninsula. Current projects involve proactive forest and road adaptation strategies under climate change.

Prior to LandVest, Weikko was a lead forest analyst for the Washington State Dept. of Natural Resources, and a consulting scientist for Cramer Fish Sciences for a broad range of high profile fiduciary, environmental and conservation focused projects.

Weikko earned his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Forest Engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA
