Through his work in building science, and having had several close family members affected by cancer diagnoses, radon awareness hits close to home. He hopes to see the impact of the radon program continue to grow in his community. When not in the office, you can find him recreating in the mountains he now calls home.

What is Radon?

Radon is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and chemically inert radioactive gas. It is formed by the natural radioactive decay of uranium in rock, soil, and water. It can be found in all 50 states. Testing for it is the only way of telling how much is present.
