How he came to be a building biologist. I've seen this with many people. Your personal experience with tech toxins, leads you find solutions where there typically aren't solutions. In 1987, both he and his wife became ill due to toxicity in their home and work environments. His search for solutions for himself and his wife, led him to building biology and an important pivot in his career. Today, his deep understanding of what clients are experiencing with tech toxins in their homes, along with his technical mastery, makes his work so effective.
