Ben
- NORMI Certified Mold Assessor (CMA)
- Certified canine handler – Ironheart Dog Training
- Trained in building science and moisture diagnostics
I came to this work the hard way – as the sick guy no one could diagnose. I run every inspection myself, handle Winnie in the field, and stay with clients long after the report is delivered. You don’t get handed off to anyone.
The certification matters here. A lot of mold dog operators can read a dog and nothing else. Being a Certified Mold Assessor means I can tell you why the mold is there, sample to a professional standard, and write a report a remediator – or your functional medicine provider – can actually use.
Winnie
- Odor-imprinted and certified by Ironheart Dog Training, Kansas
- Trained on mold MVOCs – the gases active mold gives off
- Handled exclusively by Ben; no subcontracted teams
Ironheart is one of the most respected working-dog programs in the country – 35+ years and hundreds of police K9s trained for drugs, explosives, and mold detection. Winnie was imprinted for odor detection and certified there.
On the clock, she’s all business. Off the clock, she’ll turn anything into a game of hide-and-seek – especially if her Kong is involved.
