My background was in wildfire remediation, floods, hurricane cleanup.
So my career was traveling around to Hurricane Harvey and California wildfires, like wherever the most toxic disasters were.
That's where I would go.
The reason that I got into Jasper making these air scrubbers is because the machines that we would use on the job site were these big, large industrial machines.
And when you would compare that to little air purifiers in the store, I was able to see like these little things don't work.
Basically, let's make the world's first air scrubber designed for your home.
So now I'm kind of on a mission to just talk about air quality.
Anyone who's thinking about water and hasn't thought about air, my mission for the next 20 years is to increase people's awareness of the air that you breathe.
In the mold industry, they have two sayings.
One is the mold rush, and the other one is mold is gold.
A lot of people get triggered by mold, but it's become a very fear-induced industry because there is a dark side of the mold industry.
Not everybody's a bad actor, but you have to be quite careful when you're navigating it.
People often go into debt of hundreds of thousands of dollars, rip their homes apart, move into apartments or homes that were moldier than their first home, and debt and stress, and then they get much more sick
So I've been seeing this increasing at a large scale.
And that's why as a mold remediation guy, how would we do mold removal?
We'd remove the physical mold and we would scrub the air.
It was very simple.
The average indoor air is five to 10 times dirtier than outside.
When you turn your bedroom into a clean air sanctuary, your body can heal itself if you get out of the way.
Everybody's stuff was exasperated.
