Logan’s first participation in the circular economy was through the eBay marketplace, beginning in 1998. He wrote and presented his first paper on circularity at UCLA in 2003 and finished his Anthropology degree there in 2005.
He started work in the circular economy in 2015 with the American Energy Society in Palo Alto, CA. He began to see many of the end-of-life problems associated with the energy sector through work there, including turbine blade waste, greenhouse gas leaks, and abandoned mines.

Logan landed in Evansville, Indiana in the Spring of 2023 after the acquisition of his advanced materials firm.With over 10 years experience in advanced materials, the energy sector, and emerging technologies, he also serves as the Executive Director at the Indiana Center for Emerging Technologies. There, he helps build the future of Southwest Indiana through Technology Innovations, Sustainable Practices, Community Networks, and Education Development.
