EPIS. 487 -Mark Springer, Phil Rosebrook, Jr., Pete Consigli -RIA TPA Conf.

This week on IAQ Radio we discuss a topic that gets blood pressure up among some in the restoration world. Third Party Administrators TPAs are a fact of life today in many industries and RIA has been helping their members make the adjustments necessary. This week we welcome two widely respected restoration professionals to IAQ Radio. Mark Springer and Phill Rosebrook are both RIA members and were speakers at the recent RIA Strictly TPAs Fall Conference. We look forward to having them join us along with frequent contributor Pete Consigl. Mark Springer If you know Mark Springer, you probably know when the platitude, How are you doing? comes up in conversation, his likely answer is, Living the dream! Thats because its true. Mark has been married to his high school sweetheart, Angie for 20 years and they have been blessed with five beautiful daughters who, fortunately for Mark, take after their mother. Living in Montana accentuates the dream as he is able to pursue doing things he loves like downhill skiing, bow hunting, competitive shooting, and the mountains in general. Its not all hobbies though, Mark also gets to work all over the great state of Montana helping people who have experienced disasters, primarily from fires and floods. He is the President of Dayspring Restoration, a company that specializes in disaster restoration. Dayspring has 6 locations and about 100 team members. Mark has become a mini, (emphasis on �¢??mini�¢??) celebrity in Montana due to several television advertising campaigns where he flooded and burned his house and then demonstrated to the community the restoration process, (these videos can be viewed at www.calldayspring.com).
