Best Mold and Asbestos Inspector in North West Arkansas

My Training & Credentials

I started my education with NORMI (National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors), which certifies mold inspectors and remediators. The most recent course I took—Certified Remediation for Sensitized Individuals—is probably the most comprehensive course on mycotoxins to date. It was led by Michael Pinto, a titan in the industry who’s been around since the beginning and still works in the field. If you can catch a class with him, it’s a real treat.

Other credentials and licenses I hold include:

• IICRC certification
• MICRO (Mold Inspection Consulting and Remediation Organization)
• License from the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) Air Quality Division for asbestos

Altogether, I have 17 different credentials and licenses. I’m a one-man show working in a market of about half a million people, and I take a particular interest in the mold and mycotoxin space.

The Growing Need

I’m seeing more and more calls every day. Last year was busier than the year before, and it continues to grow. Right now, around 15–20% of my clients are immunocompromised and fall into the mycotoxin category. The rest are standard residential, commercial, or industrial mold issues.

Final Thoughts

I hope that whoever you hire approaches the job the same way I do. I’m putting this information out there to help people like me learn from it—and to help you understand what’s really going on.

This is still a new and growing industry. If someone walks through your door claiming they have all the answers, be careful. We’re all still learning every day, and field experience is everything.

I’m not the smartest guy in the room—but I’m hands-on, out in the field every single day, and I’m bringing you what I see firsthand.

That’s what this is all about.
