I have over fifteen years in the wood products manufacturing industry. With a robust business background and showcasing a demonstrated history of establishing and managing diverse lumber-related enterprises, I have been refining my work to focus on recycling lumber and by-products in a circular economy framework.I founded KC Biochar in 2023 to provide the Kansas City area and the region—the “heart of America”—a biochar manufacturing company to play a crucial role in improving our resilience toward climate change by sequestering carbon and improving soil health while providing a sustainable solution for waste management.
