Meet The Board
Brett Ekart
Brett grew up in the scrap business, but the vision he had far surpassed what it
was when he entered his family business in 2004. A typical small family scrap business with a handful of employees fighting for market share in a tough and very competitive environment. Fast-forward 20 years, and he’s transformed a small family scrap business into multiple 8 figure businesses spanning several
industries, from greenfield and brownfield sites—all without outside investors or capital. He didn’t learn this from reading a book—he built it from the ground
up through mentorship, hustle, financial discipline and recruiting a team of strait up grinders that could see the vision along with him.
Nick Snyder
 A marketing pro who went from sorting aluminum cans to managing over $30 million in scrap purchases annually across different states. He’s the Marketing Director at United Metals Recycling, where he uses his smart ideas and real-world experience to create awesome marketing plans, make the company look good, and build strong connections with customers. Nick’s great at getting the word out, creating scrap flow in, and leading his team like a champ in the tough metal recycling business. He’s also super into saving the planet and pushes recycling through cool projects. Starting from the bottom and working his way up, Nick proves he’s a powerhouse at getting results, training talented people, and growing companies—making him a total rockstar to any team.
Chad Ellerbrock
When it comes to understanding the trading that goes on in the scrap markets, there are few that have the experience and understanding that Chad brings to the table. When you combine over a billion dollars in scrap metal traded and multiple years spent training and coaching people from various levels in the scrap industry, you realize Chad’s expertise is a game changer. He’s helped clients break through self-doubt and take their businesses to the next level. Â
