Lincoln Young

President

Lincoln is the president and owner of Rockwood. He grew up in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, where he gained a love of construction by working with his mother, a residential home builder. Truck rides, work sites, subcontractors, and project management were part of his upbringing. After graduating from Tennessee Tech University with a marketing degree, Lincoln began his career as a project manager for a commercial construction company. The economic downturn in 2008 forced Lincoln out of home building and into roofing. He became passionate about recycling infrastructure and advancing recycling across Tennessee. Through this passion, he developed Rockwood Recycling in 2017.

In 2019, Lincoln purchased the company and rebranded to Rockwood Sustainable Solutions. Since then, Lincoln has continued to develop recycling and reuse markets along with many other sustainable partnerships and businesses. “I am honored and humbled that I get to lead such a great group of men and women at Rockwood. Our team is family. We have a shared vision of creating an excellent sustainability company. It’s a lot of fun being part of the journey. Thank you, team.” Outside of work, Lincoln’s priorities are his relationships with God, his wife Amy, and his sons Cole and Cade.
