Ryan Shearin works for the City of Wilson as a compost facility operator. Ryan has been in the composting field for a little over 2 years and thoroughly enjoys it. Ryan has been wanting to become certified in the industry for some time now and was able to attend the USCC training course at NC State this year. Ryan felt the USCC was a more complex route to his certification, however he was pleased with the course and all the instructors. Ryan would like to say thanks to the USCC, CREF, and the NCCC for the excellent job with the class.
