"David's operational background is essential for Heartland as we increasingly build, own, and operate facilities for our customers. He is a true team player, and I couldn't be more excited to welcome David to our team."
Prior to joining Heartland, Howard held roles for Hanover County, Virginia and Waste Management. For Hanover County, Howard held operational responsibility for public works.
