Griffith
Alpine Waste & Recycling
President
As president of Alpine Waste
& Recycling, John Griffith has built a company with consistently
growing revenues and increasingly influential presence in
the Denver area’s waste and recycling industries. Griffith
founded Alpine in 1999 with start-up equity capital of $700,000
and began signing up customers even before the company had
a truck. He spent three-and-a-half months as Alpine’s
sole employee and nine months as Alpine’s sole salesperson.
Prior to founding Alpine, Griffith
was sales manager for Browning Ferris Industries (BFI), handling
all commercial and residential accounts in the market extending
from Fort Collins and Greeley down to Colorado Springs. He
supervised 18 commissioned sales representatives and support
personnel.
Griffith cut his teeth in sales
with three years at Sears, Roebuck and Co., where he managed
appliance and electronics departments and supervised 26 commissioned
sales associates.
At Alpine Waste & Recycling,
he works with the company’s executive team to develop
and execute corporate strategy.
Originally
from Uvalde, Texas, he attended the University of Colorado in
Boulder, where he received his degree in business. He spends
his spare time hiking and backpacking, usually in the Sangre
de Cristo Mountains. His wife is Tara, and they have twin sons,
Luke and Jack. |
