I have more than twenty-five years of hands-on composting experience working extensively in eight U.S. states and Mexico. I have designed, managed, permitted, evaluated, and/or remediated more than seventy-five large-scale composting facilities for both private and public sector clients. I've also been involved in public policy formation, rulemaking development for state composting regulation, composting technology assessment and development, and regional studies evaluating organic resource management.
A specialist in public relations and education, I do frequent outreach work, write instructional manuals, promotional materials, editorial pieces, and give lectures and workshops on a regular basis. I've designed three permanent home composting exhibits, appeared in two instructional videos, and am Contributing Editor of the BioCycle Journal of Composting & Organics Recycling.
An active supporter of Zero Waste, I'm a founding board member of Zero Waste San Diego. I'm also a founding board member of COOL2012 (a national initiative to divert all Compostable Organic Out of Landfills by 2012) and a member of the San Diego County Farm Bureau, focusing much of my work on source reduction and composting food residuals, and policy and direct programs designed to facilitate the symbiotic relationship between organic resource management and agriculture.
