Certified Compost Operations Manager™ Spotlight: Rafael Fernandez

I have been involved in all aspects of the composting industry since the year 2000, beginning my employment with Synagro then moving onto WeCare Organics and now working with WeCare Denali, where I am currently an operations Manager at the WeCare Denali composting facility in Rockland County, New York.
 
Why did you choose to become certified through the USCC Certification Commission?
 
Apart from getting a better understanding of how my knowledge of composting measured up to my peers, I found it important to know my place in the diverse world of composting. The USCC with its involvement in a variety of composting enterprises seemed to be the most practical place to begin.
