(Fairfax, VA – June 12, 2008) - Gershman, Brickner & Bratton, Inc. (GBB) is pleased to announce that John Roderique, P.E., is re-joining GBB as a Vice President, and that Camilo Restrepo is joining the firm for the summer as part of GBB's Internship Program.

Mr. Roderique, originally with the firm in its early years and over the past ten years as a GBB Principal Associate, has more than 30 years experience in solid waste management consulting, manufacturing industries, and business management.  He has assisted numerous clients in planning and implementing a range of technologies, including materials recovery and recycling, composting, collection, transportation, landfilling, and waste-to-energy projects in 16 states. He holds a M.B.A., Finance, from New York University, and a B.S., Mechanical Engineering, from Louisiana State University.

"Environmental goals, growth, and volatile costs due to dramatic energy price increases challenge solid waste systems nationwide,” noted John Roderique, GBB Vice President.  "From my experience in other industries, I look for solutions that meet a combination of business oriented and government agency needs and this fits with GBB's approach. I am enthusiastic about helping local governments meet these challenges in this new role with the GBB team."

Originally from Colombia, Mr. Restrepo is currently a graduate student at the University of Maryland pursuing a Master's Degree in Environmental Engineering. A Fulbright Scholar, he has a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Engineering and work experience in the environmental management field at three companies in Colombia. He speaks Spanish, English, French and German. As part of the Internship Program, he will provide support and perform solid waste management and recycling research for various GBB projects.

GBB's Internship Program, instituted in 1982, allows students and participants in special career advancement programs to acquire hands-on experience in the solid waste management industry, further their knowledge in the environmental field and work with senior consultants who are industry leaders.

"We feel that it is our duty to mentor young individuals and provide them with the opportunity to complement their academic background with first-hand work experience," noted Harvey Gershman, GBB President. "It is always rewarding, years later, when we come across individuals who took advantage of the program and see them pursue a career in the environmental field."

GBB is a national solid waste management consulting firm founded in 1980 that works on solid waste collection, processing, recycling and disposal issues, and assists in planning, procuring and implementing sound, cost-effective facilities and services at the local, state and national levels for both the public and private sectors.
