By Mike Balzano
March 7, 2024

  • Created NORMI in 2004
  • IAQ expert
  • Wrote the book “Mold Free Construction” in 1998, still a relevant industry manual today
  • Wrote and Published multiple songs 

Crediting a faith-based life for all of his success, Doug has been a pillar of our industry and a major supporter of The Experience since the event’s inception. Watch the video to learn more!
