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 two months we will spotlight 1 or 2 of PROP’s members on this webpage as well as our News Views and Opportunities newsletter.

Tell us about your PROP journey!

I’ve been involved in the recycling industry for years as part of Michael Brothers Companies, where I manage business operations and support growth initiatives. I joined PROP to connect with like-minded individuals dedicated to making a difference in recycling and sustainability. Being a member of PROP has deepened my understanding of sustainable practices and allowed me to stay informed about industry advancements. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed participating in events and committees, which have connected me with passionate professionals across Pennsylvania and inspired me to advocate for environmentally responsible practices within my organization and beyond.

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

PROP membership has been instrumental in both my personal growth and professional development. Attending PROP conferences and engaging in committee activities has introduced me to a network of passionate individuals who share a commitment to recycling and sustainability. These connections have inspired me to implement new ideas at Michael Brothers Companies. I recommend PROP membership to anyone in the industry looking to grow their knowledge, expand their network, and make a tangible impact in their community.
