Experience in the area

I have extensive experience in the investigation, testing, and remediation of indoor fungal (mold) infestations, including the design and oversight of remediation projects, hands-on cleaning and removal, and safe work practices.

I have a strong knowledge of the ways in which moisture and airlow patterns in buildings can affect fungal growth and air quality.
