Company Management:

E.B. Abel Jr. is the president of Resource Recovery LLC and president and CEO of The Abel Companies, based in Lancaster. Mr. Abel's strong work ethic was born during his childhood on a dairy farm in York County and reinforced during his years in the U.S. Army in the early 1960s. After leaving the Army, he entered the construction business, starting as a laborer and working his way up to superintendent before starting E.B. Abel Construction Co. and Consolidated Construction Co. In 1993, after more than two decades in Central Pennsylvania construction, he exited the businesses.

That "retirement" lasted just one year. Mr. Abel's next project, in 1995, was the development of the Bulle Rock public golf complex near Havre de Grace, Md. Always dedicated to being "the best," he hired world-renowned Pete Dye to design the course, which has been ranked by Golf Digest as one of only 12 five-star golf courses in North America.

More recently, after researching the dual U.S. problem of poor waste management and foreign energy dependency, he helped launch Resource Recovery LLC, with the mission of turning waste into usable energy.
