Let's Talk About the Elephant in the Room
You're here because you're wondering: "Can I trust this guy?" That's the right question. Let me give you a straight answer.
Here's What You're Up Against
Most mold inspectors in Oklahoma also do mold remediation. Same company, same truck, same crew. They show up, find a problem, then hand you a quote to fix it.
Ask yourself: If someone profits from finding a problem, how hard are they going to look for one?
A typical mold inspection costs $300–$500. A typical mold remediation project costs $3,000–$15,000.
Remediation Revenue: $8,000
Which one do you think they're trying to sell?
I'm not saying every inspector-remediator is dishonest. I'm saying the incentive structure is broken. Even well-meaning people are influenced by how they get paid. That's not cynicism—that's psychology.
"My accountant calls my business model 'incompetent capitalism.' I take that as a compliment."
So What Do I Do Differently?
I only inspect. That's it. I don't do remediation. I don't do cleanup. I find the truth and hand it to you.
In fact, Oklahoma law (15 O.S. § 765.4) prohibits the same company from testing AND treating mold. That law exists for a reason. The reason is you.
When I show up at your house, I have one job: figure out what's actually happening. I don't need to find mold to get paid. I get paid either way. So I can be honest.
If there's mold, I'll tell you. If there isn't, I'll tell you that too. Both answers are equally valuable to you—and equally profitable for me. That's how it should work.
"I know. An inspector who doesn't upsell. Revolutionary."
The Three Zeros
I'm a new business. That means I don't have 500 five-star reviews yet. But here's what I do have:
Zero Conflict of Interest
I can't sell you remediation. I can't benefit from finding problems. My only product is an accurate report.
Zero Buffer
I don't have a cushion of existing reviews to absorb a bad one. If I mess up or cut corners, it'll show. I can't afford to be anything less than thorough.
Zero Legacy Problems
No past mistakes to cover up. No institutional habits. No "that's how we've always done it." Fresh eyes on your property.
New doesn't mean inexperienced. I'm a registered nurse with 10+ years in emergency medicine. I'm an Oklahoma Army National Guard veteran. I'm IICRC certified in water restoration, mold assessment, and applied structural drying. I hold an Oklahoma Asbestos Supervisor license and a Texas Mold Assessment Consultant license.
What's new is this business—the one I built specifically so I could do inspections without the conflict of interest.
"I left a decade-long nursing career because I wanted to crawl through crawlspaces instead. My therapist says it's a 'lateral move.'"
Why I Actually Do This
I spent years in the ER watching people try to figure out why they felt terrible. Sometimes it was obvious. Often it wasn't. The hardest part wasn't the diagnosis—it was getting people to trust the answer.
You know what I learned? Trust isn't built by saying "trust me." It's built by removing every reason not to. That's what I'm trying to do here.
When I show up at your house, I'm going to tell you exactly what I find. If it's mold, I'll explain what kind, how serious, and what your options are. If it's nothing, I'll explain why the symptoms you're experiencing probably have a different cause. Either way, you leave knowing.
The unknown is always scarier than the known. That's true in the ER. It's true in your house. My job is to turn the unknown into something you can act on.
My Promise to You
- I will never perform remediation on a property I inspect.
- I will never accept kickbacks or referral fees from remediation companies.
- I will give honest recommendations when asked—based on my actual experience, not financial incentive.
- I will always tell you what I find—even when it's nothing.
- I will always explain what the data means in plain English.
- I will always answer your questions until you actually understand.
Common Questions About Independence
Understanding why conflict-free inspection matters
When the same company tests AND remediates, they profit from finding problems. That's a financial incentive to overstate issues or find mold where there isn't any. Independent testing removes that bias—I get paid the same whether I find mold or not, so I have no reason to inflate my findings.
This is why Oklahoma law (15 O.S. § 765.4) prohibits the same company from doing both.

Read the full article →Yes—and that's actually the point. Because I get paid regardless of what I find, I have no financial incentive to invent problems. A "negative" result (no mold) is just as valuable to you as finding something. Either way, you leave with clarity instead of uncertainty.
Read the full article →Yes, if you ask. I'll share honest feedback based on my experience working with local contractors. The key difference: I never accept referral fees or kickbacks. My recommendation is based on quality of work, not financial incentive. You're also free to hire anyone—I don't have a preferred vendor list that I'm trying to steer you toward.

Either I find something, or I prove there's nothing to worry about. Both outcomes have value.
