I am an Indoor Environmental Consultant specializing in indoor air quality, moisture, and mold assessments. I am a Council-certified Residential Indoor Environmentalist (CRIE) through the American Council for Accredited Certification (ACAC). My professional training also includes the IICRC Building Moisture Inspection (BMI) certification, Pathways™ Technician certification, CIRSx Medically Important Assessment (MIA) 101 and 102 training, CIRSx Medically Important Remediation (MIR) 101 training, ​American Building Science Academy (ABSA) Blower Door Fundamentals, retrotec Certified Single Blower Door Operation (DM32X), and OSHA 10-Hour Construction Safety and Health training.

​

I grew up in a construction family, which gave me an early appreciation for how homes are built and how the different systems inside a building work together. Understanding homes and how they function has always been a passion of mine, but I never imagined it would become such a personal part of my life after my wife and son became very sick from hidden toxic mold in our home.

​

Like many families dealing with mold and water-damaged buildings, we spent years searching for answers without realizing the source of our family's health issues was right under our noses—literally.

​

Watching both my wife and son struggle with mold illness, CIRS, MCAS, MCS, autoimmune challenges, and my son's battle with PANS changed my life. Having lived through these challenges myself, I understand the unique needs of mold-sensitive individuals, those navigating CIRS, and health-conscious people seeking answers about their indoor environment and home.

​

Through my family’s own experience, I learned that many mold inspections and indoor air quality assessments don’t go deep enough to identify the root cause of the problem. Mold testing alone doesn’t tell the whole story. The entire picture matters, which is why I take a holistic approach to every inspection rooted in building science and home performance. I look at how the home is built, the environment it’s in, how air, moisture, and heat affect the building envelope, and what the people living there are experiencing. Together, these factors can help uncover issues that mold testing alone may miss. Effective environmental assessments begin with the people who live inside the home, a thorough inspection, building science, moisture mapping, and an understanding of how the home functions as a system, ensuring that any testing that is performed is purposeful and answers specific questions. Meaningful solutions come from listening, using the right tools, tests, and strategies, and recommending practical next steps when they truly matter.

​

I approach every inspection with a people-first mindset because every person has a unique story, every concern deserves to be heard, and understanding the full picture is an important part of evaluating the home.
