TerraStryke was founded in 2008 by Kent Armstrong, a Zoology graduate from California State University. During his graduate studies he worked for the Los Angeles County Sanitation District as a Plant Laboratory Technician – little did he know, nearly 40 years later, he would be the founder of one of the most innovative and sustainable remediation technologies in the industry.

Kent’s inspiration for TerraStryke began in 1996, a little over a decade before its inception. While working at GZA Geoenvironmental, Kent was introduced to Richard Schaffner, a colleague, mentor, and friend of over 25 years. Together they worked managing large remediation projects – Richard, the in-house Bioremediation Expert, and Kent, the Senior Environmental Project Site Manager.

In the late 90s, Kent moved on to other opportunities to include the brokering of hazardous wastes for American Waste Services, as an Independent Contractor to Lowes Home Improvement, leading site investigations and remediation projects including a major PCB contamination project in New Hampshire from 2003 to 2008, where he remains in residence to this day. In 2008 Kent accepted a contract with Plant Products Co. Ltd ((now Master Plant Products Inc. (MPPI)) to develop a bioremediation department providing previously established nutrient blends to a new MPPI market, the environmental remediation industry.

While leading this initiative, Kent worked independently with Richard (current Patent partner) on what would be TerraStryke. Kent brought a few ideas to Richard, each concerning Richards historical and specific use, of formulations common to the industry. After a few modifications inspired by Kent, TerraStryke began to develop biosimulation additives designed, and proven, to offset not only the adverse impacts of the presence of contaminants in soil/groundwater, but also the adverse impacts incurred using traditional technologies, by leveraging the power of Mother Nature.

Since its inception, Kent has travelled throughout North America sharing the benefits of TerraStryke products. In addition to the United States and Canada, our products have been successfully used in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, India, Japan, and Canada – with ongoing discussions for use in Scotland, China, and Mexico. With worldwide shipping capabilities, TerraStryke is available to everyone.
