Certified Compost Operations Manager™ Spotlight:Gene Gilton CCOM™

Gene Gilton: I work for my family business. We have been a Waste hauler in California for 75 years. We have composted off and on for years. But with new organic diversions goals in California, we needed to up our game. I love learning new things and challenging myself and composting is of great importance and interest to me. I want to leave the world a better place than I got it. I enjoy spending time with my wife and four kids. I love coaching my kids in football and baseball in my free time.  
 
"Why did I pursue professional certification through USCC? I believe in dealing with the best. I take pride in knowledge and acquiring knowledge. Composting is something that is a win-win for everyone; they all just don't know it yet. So when I needed to have the best certification and training, it was a no brainer to seek out the USCC. We want to provide top notch compost to our customers and USCC will help us do that."
