PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
I began my career out of college as an Acquisitions
Analyst for Wind River Environmental in an office in
Annapolis, Maryland. Wind River Environmental was a
recent start-up company and based out of Boston,
MA. My experiences as an Acquisitions Analyst lead me to
meet and study 30-40 different septic companies from
Virginia to Massachusetts. I learned the many different
ways as to operate a septic business and work with
septics. I can honestly say I picked up on at least one
thing from each company, whether it being a prospective
on business or a trick in maintaining or fixing septic
systems. Wind River was the most recent of about four
companies to ever aggressively grow a septic company
through acquisitions. For this reason, I can believingly
say that nobody in the septic business today has quite
had the experiences I have encountered. As the
acquisitions stopped I became a Branch Manager of one of
their septic branches in Sterling, Virginia.
This was a branch that was recently put together and in
much disarray. Under me, I had 13 employees, six pump
trucks, a jetter/snake crew, a minor repairs crew and a
septic pump replacement crew. I did this for one summer
while I lived in Annapolis, staying in a hotel in
Northern Virginia Sunday night through Saturday
afternoon. These six days were filled, each 6 AM to
7 PM, included plenty of work, headaches and stories
in which I could easily put into a full novel. It was
a socially wasted summer for a young, vibrant 25 year
old.
After this emergency four-month mission, I was relocated
to be the Branch Manager of a much smaller and closer
Sykesville location. By this time the strain of managing
an entire region from Boston was beginning to show on the
corporation. Wind River sold their region, with my
branch going to Fogle's Septic.
I agreed to continue working with Fogle's Septic for a
temporary period. This period turned out to be 2 years
and another novel later.
Always having the desire to work for myself, I took the
leap in June 2004 to Home Land Septic Consulting.
