Company: Cascade Water Solutions LLC

Location: College Station, Texas

Cascade Water Solutions LLC is bringing to market innovative water processing systems that surpass competing technologies with unprecedented levels of performance and economy for municipal water, fracking water and even solution mining. The founders of Cascade Water Solutions recognized this lack of a dominant economical technology in the rapidly expanding global water treatment field. They rose to this challenge, to bring together breakthrough solutions which improve methods of recovering water from a variety of sources that include Oilfield and mining wastewater, disaster relief, and onboard seafaring desalination. Existing technologies used to treat water are delicate, inefficient, expensive, wasteful, and cumbersome. These serious shortcomings make it difficult for each to perform well in the harsh conditions where they are most often needed. These improvements are based on the numerous patents and developments of Mark Holtzapple, Co-Founder and Chief Technical Officer.

Company: Seaworthy Collective

Location: Austin, Texas

I never expected my love of outdoors and Geology degree to lead me to a career at sea, but there was no resisting it. And I was fortunate enough to spend over a decade working with brilliant, creative-minded innovators and cutting edge geophysical technology.

Yet, during my travels I was horrified by the pollution in our oceans, as well as the sight of water-stressed cities in Africa, India and South America. So, I broke in my land legs gradually at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, studying Climate Science and Policy and intent on combining my new knowledge and my experience to help tackle these humanity threatening challenges.

Connecting and working with sustainable Ocean and Water technology companies, organizations and policymakers that share that goal is incredibly fulfilling and motivating. There are so many solutions that often people don’t know exist! I love spreading the word about these so much I started the Wave Makers podcast. Introducing the companies and people behind them is one way I hope to help the market adopt them, improving lives and sustainable futures globally.

(Perhaps all this is not 100% altruistic… My impulses to swim, paddle boarding, SCUBA dive, surf, sail and hydrate depend on it!)

Company: ecoSPEARS

Location: Orlando, Florida

Nothing great came easy.

My passion is to make the pleasures and necessities of human life harmonious with the natural world. The race is to space, but there’s still a lot of good work to be done on earth.

I’m currently helping ecoSPEARS, an innovative remediation technology group, build partner and client relations. This company has identified a short-coming in the remediation space, which is that there are no good processes to clean and recycle polluted lands. This is is what they aim to change, which falls in line with my passion. Getting ecoSPEARS to market adoption is the professional mission of my 20s.

Company: Edward Jones

Location: New Richmond, Wisconsin

I have been a part of the New Richmond community since moving here in 1995 with my wife, Bridget, who is a lifelong resident. We have four children: Kennedy and Emma who attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) and the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, respectively, Ryan, who attends Vermilion Community College and Barb, who is a student at New Richmond High School.

I previously worked as a commercial lender at a local bank. Prior to working there, I served greater St. Croix County as a UW-Extension agent specializing in community, natural resource, and economic development education.

As a former youth basketball and baseball coach, I enjoy being active in the community and currently serve as a board member for the New Richmond Area Community Foundation. When I am not at work, you can find me spending time with friends and family in New Richmond, at our cabin on Spooner Lake or on the golf course.

Since 1996, I have been an Edward Jones client and I am excited for the opportunity to continue to provide the trusted financial strategies and excellent customer service clients have come to expect from Edward Jones.
