largest commercial biodiesel production facility. SeQuential-Pacific’s one
million gallon per year production facility began operation in July of 2005,

Marlin Pilcher, Vice President of Operations
Marlin has over 20-years of combined transportation, hazardous material
handling and petroleum industry work experience. In 1994 he finished an 8-
year career with the U.S. Coast Guard as a Maritime Law Enforcement
Officer and Machinery Technician/Engineer. Marlin received valuable
experience in marine engineering, search and rescue, shipboard fire
fighting, and environmental emergency response. WBP will benefit from his
previous 21-year career in heavy truck/equipment mechanical experience
and facilities management experience with H&M Oil Corp. and Safety Kleen
Corporation in Pocatello , ID. He attended Idaho State University in business
management. He was previously certified with the State of Oregon and
received training as a CVSA Level 1 inspector and in General Hazardous
Materials Handling, Cargo Tank Inspection, Environmental/Safety
Specialist, US EPA Regulations, Oil Spill Response, and holds a current
class “A” Commercial License.
Marlin separated from Oregon State DOT in 2007 after serving five years
where he worked as a Motor Carrier Enforcement Officer and Enhanced
Truck Inspector and received several Driving Force Awards for helping
organize several sting operations with the Oregon State Police that had
caught many truck drivers, driving under the influence of controlled
substance's.
Marlin’s current role as Vice President of Operations has followed an
exciting year overseeing all phases of WBP’s crushing plant construction
and expansion at the Rickreall, OR. facility. He is also responsible for the
design and engineering of this plant. His design has left room for more
expansion, which has come sooner then expected. It's what the WBP team
was hoping for, it seems that 2009 is going to be another great year.
Marlin is married to Collette (18Years). Collette is now the Office Manager
at WBP. They have a son (age 17) who is a drummer and also works at the
facility part time and a daughter (age 14) who loves to play volleyball.
Marlin’s interests include spending time with his family, fly fishing, hunting,
boating and woodworking.
