Welcome to the first edition of the REGENESIS employee eNewsletter!
The goal of the quarterly newsletter is to motivate our team and keep you
informed of some of the key initiatives going on throughout the company
driving us ‘Forward Together.’ Coming off of the Annual Company Meeting
and building on the ‘Forward Together’ theme this year, we are excited about
so much of the work being done globally to move us as an organization

addition to your family – this is your forum for sharing stories and successes.
We hope you’ll consider playing a part in the development of future stories
by sharing with us pictures, anecdotes, and testimonials so that we can
incorporate your wins in future newsletters. The newsletter will also be

New Faces
REGENESIS Welcomes Research
Associate, Joshua Moreno
When it comes to leveraging his academic background and university
Joshua Moreno studies, Joshua Moreno’s decision to join REGENESIS® last September
Research Associate
as a Research Associate appears to be an ideal match. He begins, “To
San Clemente, CA
sum it up, I like that I get to “science” all day. At REGENESIS I get to think
critically about how to solve problems and develop new technologies
through science.” Prior to joining REGENESIS, Moreno enlisted in the
Navy as a hospital corpsman. After serving five years, he earned his BS
in Biology at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia. Armed with his
degree and a thirst for science-based research, he accepted a position at
Anheuser Busch as a quality lab analyst, testing Budweiser and several
other beers for what he calls “awesomeness”. Concurrently, he also worked
at an environmental testing lab as an organic chemist. Soon, his interest in
environmental science drew him to REGENESIS. He continues, “I was drawn
to REGENESIS because I wanted a position that would allow me to develop
new technologies while supporting research and product development. My
research background, coupled with my undergrad degree and analytical
chemistry experience in the environmental lab industry influenced my
decision to move my career forward with bioremediation at REGENESIS.”

When asked what excites him most about being part of the REGENESIS
team, Moreno quickly points to the opportunity to assist in formulating
new technologies. He shares, “I’m most excited about developing new
remediation technology that will continue to push the company to the
forefront of the remediation industry. In addition, I get to learn from our
brilliant team of scientists.”
“No shark encounters Outside of work, Moreno enjoys applying some of his learnings from
yet, although...” Anheuser Busch to brewing his own beer. “I like to brew stouts and IPAs
because they’re my favorite to drink,” he says. “I love to drink IPAs on
a hot summer day and I enjoy stouts in the evenings to unwind.” He has
also taken up surfing since relocating to Southern California and includes
Oceanside harbor as a favorite surf spot. He shares, “Oceanside is a great
spot for beginners, offers lots of parking, and has an awesome coffee shop
located right by the beach entrance.” He continues, “No shark encounters
yet, although I was almost pulled out into open water by rip current.
Fortunately, I was saved by another surfer. That was scary.” He also stays
busy as a volunteer when time allows, and in Virginia, prior to his relocation
to California, was involved with ForKids, a nonprofit organization that
assists low-income families at risk of homelessness. Much of his free time
now however is spent helping his fiancé plan for their upcoming wedding,
scheduled for March.
REGENESIS is proud to welcome Joshua Moreno to the team as a Research
Associate and appreciates his commitment to working alongside other
research staff in the company’s ongoing efforts to develop new science-
based solutions for its clients.

REGENESIS Welcomes Staff Scientist,
Seth Benson
For Seth Benson, who in January, 2021 joins REGENESIS® as a Staff
Seth Benson
Scientist, the combination of hands-on field work and extensive travel with a
Staff Scientist
Mishawaka, IN growing environmental remediation company provides an ideal platform for
him to excel in a role he’s been looking forward to for some time. He begins,
“I’ve been interested in an environmental career since college and I always
enjoy traveling. I’ve been told that my job will be up to 90% travel and I like
that our team will be making some consequential decisions that can change
many lives for the better.” Based upon his prior work history, Benson is well
equipped to handle a variety of field work in his new science-based role
with REGENESIS. He continues, “Most of my previous jobs required physical
labor and the application of my college degree, a BS in Psychology and
Biology, with a minor in Chemistry, which I obtained from Central Michigan
University. One of my recent jobs prior to joining REGENESIS included a
role with the United States Geological Survey, as a field and lab technician. I
would help collect field samples and data, process samples in the lab, and do
data entry, analysis, and presentation.”

Benson will be working out of the REGENESIS Mishawaka, IN office,
while concurrently finishing up his master’s degree from Central Michigan
University. He feels his thesis- The Effects of Alkali Treatment on
Cyanobacterial Transmission in Ballast Water, will assist him in certain
aspects of his new role with REGENESIS. He also feels he will benefit from
his undergrad experience in Karlstad, Sweden several years ago, where he
initially became interested in environmental remediation. He shares, “I was
heavily affected by a class I took while studying abroad in Sweden. Since
then, I knew my vocation should include a consistent effort to leaving our
planet in a little better shape for future generations. To me, this seems like a
tangible thing to do here at REGENESIS, one project at a time.”
“Before the pandemic In his free time, he enjoys playing hockey as a goalie. “Before the pandemic, I
I was playing seven was playing seven times a week. We just recently built a backyard rink, but it
times a week...” hasn’t been cold enough yet to skate on. My soul hurts that it’s been almost
been a year since I played.” His love for the outdoors includes volunteering
at Indiana Dunes National Park, along the southern shoreline of Lake
Michigan. He adds, “I haven’t been able to help out since the pandemic, but
am looking forward to returning once things get back to normal.”
REGENESIS is proud to welcome Seth Benson as a Staff Scientist and
appreciates his expertise and commitment in developing environmental
solutions in the company’s ongoing efforts to develop new products for
REGENESIS and its clients.

team, Shore points to the innovative spirit of the company. He shares, “I
really like the continual pace of my work. I can’t say I have ever had a quiet
day in the nine years I have worked for the company! It’s not the kind of
place you clock-in at 9 am and out at 5 pm, and that’s why I like it.” He also
appreciates the transparent culture of the European operation. “We have
created an environment where no one is afraid to speak up and share new
ideas. Likewise, if someone is stuck on a problem, there is always someone
this side of the pond willing to help out even if it doesn’t benefit them
directly.”

Mareike Amann
four years ago, she realized early on her role would be fulfilling, and with her
Marketing Manager
Europe recent promotion to Marketing Manager for REGENESIS/Europe, it’s clear
she and the company make a great match. “I was attracted to REGENESIS
because I always wanted to work for a company that makes a positive
impact on society and the environment. I also believe as a marketer, your
work is more fulfilling if the products you are marketing solve environmental
problems rather than solely pushing consumerism.” With an accomplished
academic background that includes a double B.Sc degree in Business
Administration and Marketing, and a Master’s degree in Marketing, Amann
is integral to the REGENESIS marketing efforts in Europe, and utilizes a
broad range of marketing communications disciplines. She continues, “Since

of many aspects of marketing, including email communications, event
organization, designing print and digital materials, website content, and
various other marketing related tasks.”

combination of working closely with different team members in different
locations, and the satisfying challenge of applying different marketing
strategies across different countries. “I also get to utilize my undergraduate
and postgraduate degrees and know that I can continue to grow in my role
with a company focused on our planet’s environment.”

27An Update on Gallatin, TN
REGENESIS Welcomes Warehouse
Manager, Rick Zhorne
From helping to run a successful startup business to serving as an Army
Rick Zhorne
combat medic, Rick Zhorne, REGENESIS’ new warehouse/facility manager
Warehouse Manager
Gallatin, TN for the new Gallatin, TN warehouse, seems to rise to the challenge. Prior
to joining REGENESIS in October of last year, Zhorne served in the military
and afterwards, held key positions in a fast-growing startup, both of which
he feels offered invaluable experience, especially for his new role. He
shares, “While serving in the Army, I did two deployments to Iraq for a total
of 27 months. Some of the key attributes I gained included leadership skills
and how to maintain millions of items in inventory. I also learned that no
matter what might be occurring in the civilian world, things can always be
worse.” After completing his military service Zhorne signed on for a startup
company with a friend as the first employee of the company. He continues,
“When I left the company, it had grown from a 5,000 sq. ft. warehouse to
a 550,000 sq. ft. warehouse, and from 1 employee to over 500 employees-
with 15 retail stores, a full-scale, 10-truck trucking company, and an
eCommerce company. Needless to say, my leadership was routinely tested
with over 200 direct employees during peak seasons.”
28As one who seems to thrive in challenging situations, Zhorne was attracted
to joining REGENESIS, partly because of the different products and systems
involved. “Although I was comfortable with where I was professionally at
“I was ready for a new that time, I was ready for a new challenge and felt my background and
skillset had prepared me for success in a new role. I am extremely familiar
challenge...” with setting up warehouses and building processes, so I feel joining
REGENESIS was the perfect fit for me.” In his new role managing the
Gallatin warehouse and supervising its staff, Zhorne says he appreciates
that the company is somewhat small, yet poised for success within a larger
category. He also is encouraged that the company trusts its employees
to manage their areas of expertise, and feels his leadership will have an
impact on the continued growth of the company. He continues, “I think as
the tempo of the Gallatin warehouse increases, and as we begin to move
product and production into the warehouse, I’ll have a lot to bring to the
table. At the same time, I realize I have a lot to learn from the rest of the
team around me, and I look forward to increasing my level of understanding
when it comes to environmental technologies.”
Outside of work, Zhorne makes the most of his free time, with hobbies
that include racing 4-wheeler UTVs and other outdoor activities, and he
also enjoys being a “shade tree mechanic”- maintaining his 4-wheeler in his
backyard “under a shade tree”, instead of using the services of a professional
mechanic.
REGENESIS is proud to welcome Rick Zhorne to the team and appreciates
his leadership and enthusiastic approach to warehouse management as the
company continues to meet and exceed our client’s expectations.
29REGENESIS Welcomes Warehouse
Technician, Jonathan Ureta
For Jonathan Ureta, the decision to join REGENESIS® last November as its
Jonathan Ureta
Warehouse Technician new Warehouse Technician helped satisfy several important career path
Gallatin, TN objectives. He shares, “The opportunity for growth and job advancement
was key, as was being a part of something that is going to make the world
a better place. I also like the fact that REGENESIS is a global company
with worldwide distribution needs.” Prior to starting his new position with
REGENESIS, Ureta gained valuable experience that helped prepare him for
his role in assisting with product manufacturing and warehouse storage. He
continues, “My last two jobs actually pertained to warehouse management.
Previous to REGENESIS I was the Assistant Manager at a warehouse where
I was responsible for ensuring safety and proper production procedures.
My job prior to that was at another warehouse where I was the Electronic
Maintenance Repair (EMR) Technician.”
When asked what he thinks he will appreciate most about his new role
assisting with the Tennessee warehouse, Ureta feels the company’s
communication model- how well it’s organized, and the professionalism of
the company are at the top of his list. He shares, “The communication here
30“At REGENESIS at REGENESIS compared to my previous job is much improved because it
compared to my is active and present. As an example, when an issue needs to be addressed
regarding its significance, it is communicated through the proper channels

is active and present.” in warehousing and logistics, Ureta attended National Park College in Hot
– Jonathan Ureta Springs, Arkansas, where he earned his Technical Certificate in Computer
Warehouse Technician Information Systems. In his free time, Ureta and his girlfriend enjoy spending
Gallatin, TN time with their 8-year-old daughter, camping at lakes, hiking trails and
exploring the great outdoors- searching for that sublime waterfall. “I am
an Islander by blood, and water brings me peace. I also enjoy working on
vehicles or a side project, anything that involves a tool, preferably of the
power tool variety.”
REGENESIS is proud to welcome Jonathan Ureta to the team as its new
Warehouse Technician and appreciates his specialized experience and
commitment to servicing the company’s manufacturing and storage needs.
