A waste management professional who served as an account executive for several years before founding a small consulting firm dedicated to helping businesses, school divisions, colleges, and private schools reduce their waste management costs.

I founded East Coast Waste Consultants with one goal in mind: to protect the financial interests of educational institutions.

I am the founder and principal of East Coast Waste Consultants, a firm that helps organizations procure, execute, and administer cost-effective and efficient waste management services.

I attended Randolph-Macon College, where I studied business administration with a concentration in management. Previously, I worked as a senior account executive at Waste Management (WM), the largest waste disposal and environmental solutions company in North America.

At WM, I managed education accounts, including school districts, colleges and universities, and private schools throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, and responded to public solicitations.

I grew up in Hopewell, Virginia, and am passionate about the city’s history and future. My childhood was spent outside, in the woods and on the banks of the Appomattox River, where I developed a deep respect for and interest in the environment.
