PHIL McCONKEY ASSUMES POSITION WITH BIOCONTROL SUBSIDIARY,
PETROL REM, INC.
Pittsburgh, PA - June 3, 1997 - Biocontrol Technology, Inc.
(Nasdaq:BICO) announced today that Mr. Phil McConkey has assumed
the position of Chief Operating Officer with its subsidiary,
Petrol Rem, Inc. He will also serve on Petrol Rem's Board of
Directors.
Mr. McConkey will be responsible for overall direction of
the company with strong emphasis on sales and marketing of Petrol
Rem's innovative line of oil spill cleanup products.
A native of Buffalo, NY, Mr. McConkey is a graduate of the
United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland with a
Bachelors of Science degree in Management and Technology. After
graduation, he served five years in the Navy as a helicopter
pilot and communications officer, leaving military service with
the rank of Lieutenant.
Mr. McConkey is very well known for his position as wide
receiver for the New York Giants football team, especially for
his important reception during the Super Bowl XXI game with the
Denver Broncos. Thought to be too small and too old to make it in
professional football at 160 lbs. and age 27, Mr. McConkey became
an energetic leader of the team and carried the ball over 500
times with only two lost fumbles during his career with the
Giants.
"To join the dynamic management team of Petrol Rem and its
parent, Biocontrol, is exciting, just as it was to join the
Giants football team. As with the Giants, there is great
potential, vision, and forward movement at Petrol Rem, and by
joining this team, I feel very confident that together we can
realize those visions."
Prior to joining Petrol Rem, Phil McConkey was Managing
Director of Alexander & Alexander Inc.'s Greater New York
Insurance Services Practice and V.P. at Ross & Company Insurance
Services in Fairfield, NJ.
Mr. McConkey is still actively involved with the football
profession. He does color commentary for Giants pre-season games
on Fox New York and College Football for CBS and co-hosts the two-
time Emmy Award winning "Giants Today" pre-game show on the
Madison Square Garden Network.
In addition to all of his other activities, Mr. McConkey has
been active in national, state and local politics and serves as a
board member of several charitable organizations including New
Jersey Special Olympics.
Biocontrol Technology, Inc. has its corporate offices in
Pittsburgh, PA and is involved in the development and manufacture
of biomedical devices and environmental products. Subsidiary
Petrol Rem, Inc. develops and manufactures unique oil spill
response products and has offices, as well as manufacturing and
warehousing facilities, in Pittsburgh, Florida, and the
Texas/Louisiana Gulf.
