Georgia Recycling Specialist

Since joining Vermeer Southeast in June 2024, I’ve leveraged my extensive background in the recycling and forestry industries. Before VSE, I worked at Vermeer Manufacturing as a Recycling and Forestry Product Specialist where I deepened my expertise with grinders, trommel screens, and compost turners, enhancing application efficiencies across different regions. Currently covering Georgia, I am dedicated to optimizing grinding machine operations and promoting sustainable practices. Additionally, I am an active member of the US Compost Council and am currently helping to lead the Georgia Compost Council during its formative phase.
