The Jacksonville Opportunity
In 2023, I came to Jacksonville for one simple reason: this market was exactly where Atlanta was in 2002. Underserved. Skeptical. Contractors asking "Why do we need concrete scanning?" The same question I heard two decades ago.
I know why. Because I've seen what happens when you don't scan. I've prevented catastrophic failures in nuclear power plants. I've saved contractors hundreds of thousands in post-tension cable strikes. I've scanned almost every major high-rise in Atlanta, along with hospitals, dams, stadiums, and even aquariums.
Why Jacksonville Needs Professional Concrete Scanning
Jacksonville is growing fast. New construction, renovations, infrastructure upgrades. But many contractors here still don't understand that one utility strike can cost more than an entire year of scanning services. I'm here to change that—just like I did in Atlanta.
The Atlanta Foundation (2002-2023)
I founded Xenogenesis RADAR Imaging in Atlanta in 2002 when ground penetrating radar was still a novelty to most contractors. Over 20+ years, I built it into the Southeast's premier concrete scanning company, completing thousands of projects for over 2,500 clients.
From scanning every major Atlanta high-rise to working on critical infrastructure like Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, I've seen it all. The Atlanta Braves stadium. Northside Hospital systems. Georgia Tech campus. The Atlanta Falcons facilities. Major government projects at federal, state, and local levels.
Why Part-Time Works Better
I'm semi-retired, which means I do this because I enjoy it—not because I have to. That translates into better service for Jacksonville contractors. I'm typically available when you need me, without the overhead and scheduling conflicts of large national companies.
As a subcontractor for Xenogenesis LLC in Atlanta, I maintain the same standards and expertise that made us Atlanta's go-to scanning company, but with the flexibility and responsiveness of a local operator who actually lives here in Jacksonville Beach.
The Experience Advantage
When you hire me, you're not getting a technician with 6 months training. You're getting someone who's scanned nuclear reactors, NFL stadiums, major hospital systems, and thousands of commercial projects. That experience matters when you're drilling into a $50 million building.
Jacksonville's Local Advantage
Unlike national companies traveling from Tampa or Orlando and charging $500-$1,200 in travel fees, I'm based right here in Jacksonville Beach. Zero travel fees within 30 miles of downtown. Same-day service. And when something urgent comes up, I can typically be on-site in 15-30 minutes.
I saw an opportunity to bring Atlanta-level expertise to a market that desperately needs it. Jacksonville deserves better than waiting days for crews from other cities. You deserve someone local who actually understands that when a project is delayed, every hour costs money.
