"I've always considered myself a steward of the inspection, cleaning and restoration industries, but this appointment by the IICRC formally confirms that role. Moving forward, it is incumbent upon me to utilize my experience and skill sets to the fullest in order to hold our member firms and technicians to the highest levels of excellence.
"Quite frankly, I have been preparing myself my entire career for this type of challenge. We are in the business of getting people's lives back on track - restoring their peace of mind. And I cannot think of a nobler endeavor."
