a Certified Safety and Health Official widely regarded as one of the founding figures
of the professional crime scene cleanup industry.

the United States in 1999 and later created the world’s first dedicated crime and
trauma scene decontamination training program. His real-world methods helped define
the standards many others in the industry now follow.
