Role: Founder, Leader, and Chief Vision Wrangler

Michael co-founded Allied Restoration Company with his dad back in 2002 — before TikTok, smart homes, or oat milk lattes. They started with one location in Seattle, Washington, a truck, some big ideas, and probably a roll of duct tape. By 2010, Michael launched the San Francisco office and took things up a notch. Fast forward to today, and Allied is one of the fastest-growing private companies in America — a fact that surprises no one who’s seen Michael on a mission (or on caffeine). As the fearless leader of Team Allied, Michael is in charge of pointing the ship in the right direction, yelling “let’s go!” a lot, and making sure the culture stays strong, the team stays sharp, and the coffee stays hot.

Team Allied Lives by These Fundamentals:

1. Do what’s best for the customer and deliver legendary service.
2. Find a way and go the extra mile (yes, even when it’s uphill).
3. Speak straight — no corporate mumbo jumbo.
4. Create win-win solutions.
5. Celebrate success and keep things fun (bring donuts).
6. Look ahead, anticipate, and be proactive (aka, don’t wait for the roof to leak).
7. Be process-oriented — but not boring.

Role: Chaos Coordinator, a.k.a. The Real Boss at Team Allied

Julia is the glue that holds Allied together — and the duct tape when glue won’t cut it. She juggles schedules, crew, forms, and drama with a headset and a smirk.

• Turning chaos into color-coded clarity
• Knowing what you need before you say it
• Filling the coffee and the sass at the same time

Julia’s not just mission control — she is the mission. She could run this place in her sleep… but she won’t admit it.

Role: Restoration Technician Extraordinaire, Moisture Terminator & Quiet Jobsite Hero

Ramon is the guy who doesn’t say much — because he’s too busy getting things DONE. Whether it’s water damage, fire cleanup, or mold that thinks it’s in charge, Ramon shows up with his gear, his game face, and a quiet confidence that says, “I’ve got this.” He doesn’t need a spotlight, just a solid plan and a dry pair of boots. Ramon works circles around the chaos — always focused, always efficient, and always five steps ahead of the next problem.

He’s known for:

1. Getting the job done right the first time
2. Working faster than his coworkers can drink their coffee
3. Keeping calm while others are duct-taping things in a panic
4. Silently judging your mop technique (and then fixing it)
5. Celebrate success and keep things fun (bring donuts).
6. Look ahead, anticipate, and be proactive (aka, don’t wait for the roof to leak).
7. Be process-oriented — but not boring.

With Team Allied’s core values in his back pocket, Ramon is the dependable, no-drama technician every restoration job needs — because when he’s on the site, the job isn’t just done... it’s done right.

Role:Financial Wizard, Budget Tamer & Michael’s Money Muse

Melissa isn’t just Team Allied’s money person — she’s the money whisperer. With a sparkle in her eye and a spreadsheet at the ready, she helps wrangle the numbers, organize the chaos, and keep the company’s financials looking tighter than shrink wrap on a brand-new dehu. Whether she’s waving her wand over budgets, untangling receipts that look like they’ve survived a flood, or guiding Michael from “random pile of papers” to “flawless monthly report,” Melissa does it all with patience, precision, and the kind of charm only a true money sorceress can pull off.

She’s known for:

• Turning financial fog into fiscal clarity
• Getting the biz into tip-top financial shape (without using a crystal ball)
• Holding Michael accountable with a smile... and a spreadsheet
• Making “revenue forecasting” sound almost fun

Melissa brings structure, strategy, and just the right dose of sparkle to everything she touches. If Team Allied’s finances are sharp, clean, and future-ready — you can bet Melissa had a magic wand in that.

Role: Chief Estimating Officer, Spreadsheet Surgeon & Decoder of Julia’s Handwritten Hieroglyphics

Daniel is the mastermind behind Team Allied’s clean, clear, and profitable estimates — even when the input looks more like a treasure map than a scope. Armed with a pencil, a calculator, and a sixth sense for “what Julia probably meant,” Daniel turns job site chaos into tidy budgets and winning contracts.

He’s not just our estimator — he’s a budget whisperer, timeline wrangler, and construction fortune teller. Whether it’s a one-room repair or a 7-building restoration plan, Daniel crunches the numbers, smooths the scope, and adds just enough markup to keep things running (and keep Christy smiling).

Daniel’s toolkit includes:

• Eagle-eye accuracy
• Jedi-level patience
• The ability to translate napkin sketches into profit
• Lightning-fast turnaround (powered by coffee and polite determination)

Without Daniel, we'd still be arguing over where the water line ends. With him, we’re on time, on budget, and back in business — with style.

Role: Company Matriarch, Money Maestro & Keeper of the Sanity (and Baby Titus)

Christy is the calm, steady hand behind the Allied curtain — keeping the company on track, the books balanced, and the energy grounded. As Michael’s mom and Team Allied’s unofficial CFO-slash-operations-whisperer, she’s the one who makes sure the numbers work, the lights stay on, and the checks don’t bounce.

Need to know where a file is from 2009? Ask Christy. Trying to figure out payroll, a vendor issue, and how to order more printer ink at the same time? She’s already handled it — and probably made lunch, too.

What Christy does best:

• Keeps the business financially healthy (and emotionally stable)
• Ensures the team has what they need to succeed — from QuickBooks to comfort
• Brings a no-nonsense attitude with just enough kindness to keep everyone human
• Balances spreadsheets by day and baby Titus by snack time

She’s more than the glue — she’s the backbone. Team Allied runs smoother because Christy’s in the building (or behind the scenes making magic happen). Just don’t try to sneak a surprise expense past her — she’ll find it before the receipt prints.

Role: Rising Restoration Star, Moisture Meter Ninja & Future Superhero

Javier is the newest member of Team Allied’s restoration crew — but don’t let the “rookie” title fool you. He’s already racking up experience faster than a dehumidifier fills a bucket. With a natural knack for the trade and a serious hustle, Javier is diving into water, fire, and mold restoration like he was born for it (probably because he was — he’s proudly following in his father’s footsteps).

Javier shows up early, asks the right questions, carries the heavy stuff without being asked, and somehow always has a smile on his face — even when he’s wrangling air movers in a 110-degree attic.

He’s known for:

• Always being eager to learn (and never saying “that’s not my job”)
• Knowing where the truck keys are before anyone else
• Treating every job like it’s a championship game
• Having “future lead tech” energy on Day One

Team Allied is proud to have Javier on the squad — not just for the work he does now, but for the restoration legend he’s clearly becoming. Watch this space — he’s just getting started.

Role: Lead Technician, Builder of All Things & 24/7 Restoration Superhero

Abraham has been with Team Allied for over five years, but we’re pretty sure he’s been building and fixing things since birth. If it’s broken, he’ll fix it. If it doesn’t exist, he’ll build it. And if there’s an emergency at 2am on a Sunday? Abraham’s already on the way (with tools in hand and probably beating the fire department there).

He’s the guy you want on every job: fast, focused, calm under pressure, and somehow able to make disaster response look smooth. Whether it’s water, fire, mold, or mystery damage — Abraham handles it all with the confidence of someone who’s seen it (and fixed it) before.

Abraham is known for:

• Showing up before you even call
• Building anything with whatever’s in the truck
• Solving problems faster than you can describe them
• Being Team Allied’s most dependable “Oh crap” button

He’s not just a technician — he’s a one-man restoration machine with a Jeep in the parking lot, a dirt bike in the trailer, and a heart that runs on coffee, hustle, and doing the job right.

Role: Mold Slayer, Water Warrior & Rodeo-Ready Technician

Gilberto is Team Allied’s triple-threat technician — mold, water, and fire damage don’t stand a chance when he rolls up (usually before you even knew there was a problem)...

• Do what’s best for the customer — no shortcuts, no excuses.
• Find a way and go the extra mile (even if it’s uphill, in boots).
• Speak straight — he says what he means and gets to work.
• Create win-win solutions — unless it’s mold, then it loses.
• Celebrate success and keep things fun — even on demo days.
• Look ahead, anticipate, be proactive — and always have extra gloves.
• Be process-oriented — because drying things right the first time matters.

If Gilberto’s on your job, consider it handled — with horsepower, humor, and the heart of a champion (or at least a cowboy).

Role: Equipment Whisperer, Racecar MacGyver & Allied’s Fix-It Legend

Kevin is the guy you call when something’s broken, squeaking, leaking, or smoking — and you need it running again yesterday...

• Fixing things at 6am on a Sunday
• Going the extra mile — with 500lb scrubbers
• Speaking straight — with a joke
• Creating zip-tie miracles
• Racing, donuts, and high-fives
• Spotting issues before they start
• Duct tape flexibility, process-driven mind

If you hear the roar of an engine, chances are, Kevin built it, fixed it, or drove it. Probably all three.

Role: Sales Manager, Deal Closer & Certified Equipment Wrangler

Ty is the guy who makes it happen. If you’ve got a building emergency, an impossible deadline, or a duct-tape prayer delivery — Ty’s already on it...

• Turns “let me check” into “done deal”
• Finds the right gear at the right time
• Pitches wild ideas that land
• Stays calm — unless there's no coffee

Ty gets it done. Period.

Role: Office Manager Extraordinaire, Chaos Tamer & Smiling Enforcer

Jessica is the glue, gears, and espresso that keep Team Allied running. From phones to files to fixing crew chaos — she owns it all with a smile and a perfectly timed eye-roll.

• Finding a way — even when one doesn’t exist
• Smiling through the storm
• Keeping Julia, Michael, and Kevin in line

She manages the impossible, remembers birthdays, and still finds time to sip iced coffee. She’s magic — we checked.

Role: Chief Integrating Officer, Systems Sage & Process Rodeo Queen

Venessa is the powerhouse behind the scenes making sure Team Allied doesn’t just have great ideas — but actually uses them. As the company’s Chief Integrating Officer, she wrangles workflows, tames rogue spreadsheets, and turns “we should do this” into “we already did, and here’s the checklist.”

If it plugs into a process, Venessa’s mapped it. If it doesn’t, she’s probably already fixing that too — all while keeping Michael on track like a seasoned rodeo pro with a clipboard instead of a lasso (though… sometimes both).

Known for:

• Turning chaos into flowcharts
• Asking “Is this documented?” with terrifying frequency
• Guiding the team with structure, support, and just the right amount of sass
• Keeping systems moving, people aligned, and coffee cups full

Venessa doesn’t just keep the company running — she makes sure it runs on purpose. With her at the helm of integration, the path to growth is clear, the SOPs are current, and everyone knows where to click. Probably.

Role: Technology Leader, Wi-Fi Whisperer & Official Guardian of "Why Isn’t This Working?"

When something beeps, blinks, or randomly stops responding, Kyle is the one we call — and somehow, he always makes it work (usually with a smile and a muttered “classic user error”). As Team Allied’s fearless Technology Leader, Kyle is in charge of making sure the tools we use every day — from cloud systems to field apps — actually do what they’re supposed to do.

He doesn’t just fix things. He streamlines, secures, and strategizes. Whether he’s solving a mystery VPN issue, syncing 14 devices in under 5 minutes, or explaining tech to non-tech people in plain English, Kyle helps the entire company stay connected, compliant, and competitive.

Kyle’s unofficial job titles include:

• Digital Plumber (he fixes all our system clogs)
• Zoom Room Commander
• Chief Cloud Navigator
• “The Guy Who Actually Read the Manual”

Kyle keeps Team Allied running smoothly, safely, and smart — and when it comes to meeting our tech objectives, he’s not just part of the team — he’s the infrastructure.
