Brian has been in the recycling and
composting industry for over 20 years. His
solid waste career started at the grass roots
level when he saw the need for recycling in his
community in the early 1980’s. After
spearheading a county-wide initiative to
implement recycling and actively working on
the state’s (Michigan) yard waste ban, he
focused his energies on backyard composting.
With the yard waste ban in place in over 27
states, Brian recognized composting was going
to be an opportunity to divert 40% - 60% of the
waste stream from the landfill!
Over the next ten years, Brian owned and
operated a business -Earth Supply and
Consulting Services- that concentrated on
providing backyard composting bin distribution
programs throughout the Midwest. In that
period, distributed over 100,000 compost bins,
provided hundreds of educational program and
worked with communities in 12 different states.
Along with backyard composting, ESC Services
introduced vermi-composting across the
Midwest. I designed and installed several largescale, onsite Vermi/food composting systems,
as well as provided hundreds of vermicomposting bins for households and schools.
ESC Services acted as the US national
distributor for “The Original Vermitech System
and set up several projects, including Arnold Air
Force Base in Tellehoma, TN, Traverse County
Municipal Building, MI, College of DuPage, IL.
Along with these projects; Brian designed, built
and sold his own flow through vermi digester.
ESC Services was one of the first distributors of
compost tea equipment and worm castings for
the tea brewing industry in the Midwest.
In 2003, Brian accepted a position with NC DENR
as the Organic Recycling Specialist. This allowed
him to continue to develop food diversion
programs throughout NC. While working for NC
DENR, Brian continued to offer independent
consulting services outside the state of NC in all
aspects of composting and vermi-composting.
Speaking engagements, workshops, large scale
waste audits and equipment installation for
hotels, restaurants and universities; are consistent
sources of gratification. One really memorable
project is a Puerto Rico Zoo, where 330 lbs. of
manure are composted daily ---and all from only
one healthy elephant!
