VICE PRESIDENT OF TECHNICAL SERVICES
Craig Sandefur
Mr. Sandefur is the Vice President of Technical Services for Regenesis and is recognized as an expert in the field of aerobic and anaerobic bioremediation. He has over 17 years of experience in the remediation industry and has developed much of Regenesis’ current product application capabilities. In this role, Mr. Sandefur was the focal point in the development of what is now commonly accepted direct-push application protocols for delivery of electron acceptors like ORC® and ORC Advanced®, electron donors like HRC® and 3D Microemulsion™ and chemical oxidants like RegenOx™. He is directly involved in the development of ORC and HRC design software which has become some of the most widely used software in the environmental industry. Mr. Sandefur has successfully designed and implemented a wide-range of in-situ remediation strategies on hundreds of projects. In addition, Mr. Sandefur has reviewed and evaluated many of the implemented projects to date and has provided expertise in the areas of technical trouble shooting and field performance. Mr. Sandefur manages the company’s technical services staff and provides oversight on enhanced bioremediation and chemical oxidation remediation applications. He received his BSc. in Biology from Southwestern Union College in Keene, TX and his MSc. in Geology from Loma Linda University in Riverside, CA.

Mr. Gillespie serves as the Vice President of Sales for Regenesis and provides leadership on DoD projects nationwide. He has over ten years experience in the environmental remediation business. Mr. Gillespie joined Regenesis after a successful career as a Research Scientist at Battelle Memorial Institute. His work experience has been focused on innovative remediation technologies for the treatment of chlorinated solvents, petroleum hydrocarbons, and metals in soils and groundwater. Mr. Gillespie was a co-author on the Multi-Site Air Sparging Design Paradigm. In addition, he was a contributor to the recently published Principles and Practices of Enhanced Anaerobic Bioremediation of Chlorinated Solvents. Mr. Gillespie earned his B.S. in Environmental Science from the University of Oklahoma.
VICE PRESIDENT OF MARKETING
Bryan Vigue
Mr. Vigue has been actively involved in the environmental industry for close to 12 years of his professional career with at least 9 years in the remediation segment. Over this span of time, Mr. Vigue has performed in a number of management capacities including three years of environmental consulting with an emphasis on regulatory issues and various levels of involvement with major environmental projects associated with international airports.

Currently, Mr. Vigue serves as Vice-President of Marketing for Regenesis and Land Science Technologies. He has authored and co-authored a number of technical papers, posters, case studies, technical bulletins and articles relating to in-situ remediation and contaminated site redevelopment.
Education: M.S., Environmental Science, California State University Fullerton.
Ben Mork, Ph.D.
Dr. Mork earned a B.S. in chemistry from the University of California at Davis and a Ph.D. in inorganic and organometallic chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley, where he investigated structural, reactivity, and catalytic properties of transition metal-silicon compounds. His industrial research experience has spanned the fields of petrochemical catalysis, high-throughput experimentation, nanotechnology, and environmental chemistry. He is a coauthor of 10 papers and one patent application on aspects of organometallic chemistry, catalysis, and materials science. He joined Regenesis in 2006, where he currently manages product development research.
Jeremy Birnstingl, Ph.D.
Dr. Birnstingl is the Managing Director of Regenesis Ltd. and is responsible for the growth and development of Regenesis across Europe. Since joining Regenesis in 2002, Dr. Birnstingl has overseen the introduction and commercial use of five new technical products within the UK and other European countries for in situ aquifer restoration under varied national regulatory and permitting regimes. These include products for aerobic and anaerobic bioremediation of both fuels and chlorinated solvents, immobilization of toxic metals, and in situ chemical oxidation of organic contaminants. Prior to this role, Dr. Birnstingl was European Technical Manager for Regenesis, responsible for remedial feasibility assessment and application design of European remediation projects using Regenesis products, client technical support, and European establishment of Regenesis.
Before joining Regenesis, Dr Birnstingl was a Principal Environmental Scientist within the Soil & Groundwater Group of URS Corporation (Dames & Moore), specialising in design and management of remediation programmes and management and direction of long term groundwater remediation projects for large international clients. Dr Birnstingl has managed technical and commercial research programmes for individual projects and for corporate capability growth, for example, to enable the development of bioremediation, (hazardous wastes) composting and thermal remediation facilities. Within URS he was a member of the International Remediation Technology Team advisory panels for both Bioremediation and Thermal Remediation.
He has given numerous national and international seminars, university lectures and conference presentations in his technical area, and has published articles and papers in academic journals, conference proceedings and in the wider environmental subject literature.
