Jeff Purtell, the owner of Guardian Mold Consulting, has a rich background rooted in service and leadership. As a former special operations Firefighter/Paramedic just outside of Chicago, Jeff dedicated 25 years to protecting and serving his community.

In the fall of 2022, Jeff launched Guardian Mold Consulting to address the urgent needs of homeowners impacted by Hurricane Ian in Southwest Florida. With extensive expertise in mold remediation and restoration, Jeff is committed to providing professional, reliable, and compassionate support to families and businesses navigating the challenges of mold infestations.
