Members Spotlight

The Professional Recyclers of Pennsylvania values every one of our members and the experiences they bring with them to our organization. We all do awesome work throughout the year and much of it goes unnoticed by a lot of people. Sometimes we feel we are doing a thankless job and may feel underappreciated, you are not!

Although we meet each other at PROP and other events throughout the year it’s rare if we actually have a chance to learn about each other, our experiences, and the awesome work we do on a daily basis.

The PROP Membership Committee has started spotlighting our members on a bi-monthly basis. Every month or two, we will spotlight 1 or 2 of PROP’s members on this webpage as well as our Facebook Page, LinkedIn page, and News Views and Opportunities newsletter.

Tell us about your PROP journey!

BE Equipment, Inc. joined PROP to increase our partnerships with the leaders of recycling and waste industry.  We have been a PROP member for over 30 years.  

What has PROP membership meant to you both personally and professionally?

I personally have been working with PROP for over 20 years now and have been able to learn alot about the recycling and waste business through the relationships and PROP education program.  It has been great developing the professional network and friends in this business.  If you want to be involved anywhere in the recycling and waste business it is imperative that you join and participate in PROP events.

Describe a Fun Fact, Favorite Meal, and a Perfect Day outside of work would look like for you?

Fun Fact-  I was a United States Marine for 6 years. 
 
Meal-  I love breakfast, so that would be an omelet.
 
Inspiration- My mom is my inspiration.  The way she balanced the family/work life was inspirational and she really instilled my work ethic, which has greatly contributed to my success in my career.
 
Perfect Day outside of work-  Traveling anywhere with my wife and two daughters for fun.
