Curriculum Vitae
Mission Statement:
My Mission in Business is to ensure that someone's American Dream doesn't become a nightmare by working closely, with individuals, national businesses, and nonprofits to develop reliable, affordable, and standardized indoor air quality and other environmental services.
Crowning Accomplishments:
- I am the President and founding member of Indoor Environmental Standards Organization (IESO, IESTANDARDS.ORG) an ANSI standards setting body. Under my direction, IESO is currently developing standards including, but not limited to: residential mold assessment, assessment of fungal contamination in schools, a fire restoration standard, allergen screening, and clearance testing of pressure treated structures for arsenic. IESO has published the first residential mold assessment standard in the industry.
- I founded Allstate Home Inspection and Household Environmental Testing LTD., the first home inspection business in America to incorporate environmental testing as a key component. It grew from one office in central Vermont to over 70 offices in 43 states via the development of what has been recognized as the most robust training, marketing, sales and support system in the industry. Through this process I developed strong relationships with other industry leaders. With their interaction and my own efforts, I was able to determine when and how to produce results in strategic business planning; including marketing, sales, and training.
- During the mid-1980s I provided consulting to the city of Boston that resulted in a national award winning housing program. When the city of Boston implemented my recommendations, it stimulated the local real estate and building industries while transforming city owned vacant lots into affordable housing without the use of nonprofit or government funding.
Keys to Success:
- A Strong Commitment to Integrity
- Leadership
- Recognizing Trends and Opportunities
- Motivating Through Communications
- Broad Based Training and Experience

Bio of Francis X. Finigan:
My background is in architecture, building, and applied environmental science.
My offering of environmental services began in 1978 when I conducted my first lead inspection. From that time forward, I've received extensive training and provided professional services in other environmental fields including: radon, USTs (underground storage tanks), private domestic water supplies, and indoor air quality (mold, VOCs, bacteria, and allergen screening). My educational background and experience in these fields includes assessment and remediation (planning and supervision).
My architectural and building experience has and continues to enhance my abilities in the residential and commercial environmental fields. During the late 1970s while attending The Boston Architectural Center, I owned and operated a small construction company Finigan Construction Company. We were primarily involved in design built additions, kitchens, and historic restorations.
This company grew into a boutique real estate development business. It designed, built and brought townhouses to the marketplace in Boston/Cambridge, Massachusetts area.
In the mid-1980s I became the CEO of a Terra Firma Real Estate Development Corporation, the general partner for several commercial and residential real estate investment trusts. My position as CEO required me to take an active role in the syndication of capital, securing financing, oversight of design, construction, and marketing and sales development. In a nutshell, my job was to bring projects from concept to completion.
During the downturn of the housing market of 1989 opportunities emerged in the building inspection and environmental testing fields. By applying my acumen in architecture, building, and environmental science to consulting, I was able to provide clients with real estate appraisals, inspections and wide variety of environmental testing services. I founded Allstate Home Inspection and Household Environment Testing Services,Ltd. (AHI) from these endeavors.
By 1999, AHI had 4 offices around New England. By the end of 2006, AHI had more than 70 franchise offices in 43 states. From 2004 through 2006, Entrepreneur Magazine rated AHI as one of the top 500 franchises in America.
In February of 2007, I sold AHI to Environmental Service Professionals, Inc. a publicly traded company. During my tenure as Division President and Board of Director at ESP, through of April of 2008, I was instrumental in the development of the CEHI (Certified Environmental Home Inspector) program. My work included the development of proprietary mold software, a broad environmental service offering, training programs, and a business model positioning the parent company for upside revenues in excess of $250,000,000 per year. These accomplishments attracted investors to execute private placement stock purchase agreements in excess of $10 million.
My national participation in high profile nonprofit organizations since the late 1990s has provided me with insights into environmental and economic trends and an opportunity to share the broad these perspectives. Significantly, I am the national president of IESO (Indoor Environmental Standards Organization) an ANSI standards setting body.
Currently, I am the president of the American Indoor Air Quality Assessment Services, Ltd.(AIAQAS). AIAQAS is an environmental consulting business serving schools, hospitals, and municipal facilities throughout the northeast.
Currently, I am also the owner of American Radon Laboratory, LLC, (ARLab) formerly of Phoenix, Arizona; a web-based lab providing analysis for a Electret Ion Chambers (re: EPA the most accurate short-term radon test devices). It is a NEHA (National Environmental Health Association) accredited radon laboratory.
