Employee Spotlight: Seth Benson, Project Supervisor

For Seth Benson, who in January 2021 joined REGENESIS® as a Staff Scientist, the combination of hands-on fieldwork and extensive travel with a 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 fieldwork 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 feels that prior to his work with REGENESIS, he fundamentally benefited 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 leave 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.”

In his free time, he enjoys playing hockey as a goalie and currently plays four times a week on two local teams.  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 have Seth Benson, now as a Project Supervisor, and appreciates his expertise and commitment to developing environmental solutions in the company’s ongoing efforts to create new products for REGENESIS and its clients.
