Drew Bledsoe, Doing Good While Doing Well -- Life After the NFL
Market Wire, May, 2009
12Next ..That was Drew Bledsoe's mission after retiring from the NFL exactly two years ago this month when he traded in the locker room for the boardroom. Shortly after his retirement, he created Bledsoe Capital Group with one caveat: his projects had to be for the "betterment of the environment and society." With help from his business partner and attorney, Chad Wold, hundreds of business opportunities were reviewed and analyzed, but only one passed Bledsoe's caveat: a mobile water recycling technology called Ozonix, developed by Ecosphere Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: ESPH).
Approximately a year ago Ecosphere was granted a pilot program with a major energy company in the Barnett Shale, that's when Ecosphere and Bledsoe began its partnership. According to Wold, "We wanted a project exactly like this, and Ecosphere needed the capital for the pilot program to prove the technology in the oil and gas industry." Millions of gallons of water are contaminated daily during the oil and gas exploration process. The industry's usual method of disposing of contaminated water was to either pump it back down into the ground through injection wells or create massive holding ponds.
