I think that's why he mentioned "part-time" and "keeping his day job". Get the multi time that someone else mentioned along with a CFI. Find an FBO that has a 135 operation, and start instructing nights/weekends. Hang around long enough and you may be able to pick up some part time stuff on the 135 side, or at least get to ride right seat on some trips, which I know will ruffle some feathers from a logging standpoint, but if you're not going to go pro it doesn't matter. My instructor was teaching part time, and the chief pilot for the local quarry company dropped in one day, they started chatting, and now my instructor's flying their King Air part time. That's how it happens.
