JET is a unique recycling technology engineered to process all seven grades of commingled plastic waste. The JET process transforms mixed plastic waste into versatile, durable, environment-friendly and economically profitable end products from custom molded designs to standard plastic lumber to fully engineered construction kits for a huge variety of structures. JET plastic can be made to be fire-resistant and self-extinguishing, and is guaranteed forever against environmental degradation or attack.

After leaving the biology program at Nevada Southern University (now UNLV), Andy worked for AEC contractors tracking radiation exposure levels of flora, fauna and workers at the Nevada Test Site during the most active period of nuclear testing in U.S. history.

Having had a lifelong interest in exercise and training, Andy cofounded the original Cybex company  in 1970. For Cybex’s first 21 years, Andy managed marketing, sales, product development, program development, education, and customer service operations. During this time, Cybex grew to do business in more than 100 countries and became the official sportsmedicine supplier to the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and USOC. Entering the commercial fitness market in 1981, CYBEX quickly dominated and was widely recognized as the world leader in sportsmedicine, rehabilitation and fitness. 

After leaving Cybex, Andy provided consulting services to a variety of companies. In 1997, Andy started values.com based on technology he co-invented that was among the earliest patented methods for using wireless technology and the Internet for both location-based and cause-related marketing. 

As a long-time fisherman, scuba diver and environmentalist shocked by environmental problems caused by plastic waste, Andy cofounded Plastic Free Ocean in 2009. Through his research for solutions to plastic waste, Andy became aware of JET - the only proven and economically practical technology for recycling mixed plastic waste.
