THE SLUDGE HUB & COMPANY
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Providing equal parts guidance and good cheer
BRIAN HURLEY
Sludge Slinger
Brian has been “slingin’ sludge” for over ten years with various non-profit watershed groups throughout north central WV. One perk of his profession is access to abundant sludge, and he is more than happy to spread it around (for remediation and science) via a domestically sourced supply chain. He holds a Master's Degree in Environmental Sciences that is paired with real world Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) experience, real world watershed restoration experience and real world success stories. When out of the office-and not doing field work, Brian is probably enjoying those very streams and watersheds he works so hard to restore. The Sludge Hub is reimagining ways to restore mine lands, streams, and the environment which is a plenty good reason to keep “slingin’ Sludge” for years to come.
JONATHAN LEONARD
Founder
The spectre behind The Sludge Hub. Jonathan's fascination with abandoned and degraded spaces led him to imagine how these wastelands might be reconnected with the ecosystem. An eco-auditor by trade, Jonathan brings his knowledge of waste streams, bioenergy, and chemicals to the table.
JORDAN JOHNSON

Jordan's interest in the interactions between humans, machines, energy, and the environment brings innovation to The Sludge Hub to help achieve their goals. As an experienced mechanical engineer familiar with many industries Jordan can handle any challenge with invigorating curiosity and an aspiration for efficient results.
