Now Mark is licensed for radon measurement in 3 states and holds an advanced NRPP certification for radon measurement of multifamily housing. ARC-1 Radon has grown to provide a full range of radon measurement services across the Midwest to include: multifamily housing, schools, college dorms, daycare centers, and other commercial buildings. In 2014 Mark volunteered his support of the Midwest chapter of AARST, a radon professional organization, and became a board member and the organization’s webmaster.

When asked why he chose to start his own business after a carrier in the military he stated “As a child, growing up in Florida, I often worked with my family who did things for themselves, some built their own houses, boats, furniture, my grandfather even operated a sawmill for a while, so we could make or own lumber. Working with my hands, being self-reliant, and responsible for or actions is part of my family heritage.

So, operating my own business seemed like a natural path to take. Also, my time in the military gave me the experience and management skills needed to operate a successful business.”

During his military career Mark spent 16 years overseas to included: Japan, Germany, and Saudi Arabia. In 1992 he was awarded the “Airman’s Medal” for heroism after saving several people from a burning building.

Since starting his business he has inspected over 2,500 homes and performed over 3,500 radon measurements. On 2 December 2017 Mark will be running the St. Jude Memphis Marathon to raise money for the St. Jude Children’s Hospital. If you would like to make a donation Click Here .
