Manny Velazquez, CSMI
Industrial Hygiene Technician
Manuel (Manny) graduated from California State University, Fullerton with a bachelor’s in public health and a concentration in Environmental Health & Safety, Go Titans! His passion for safety first began in the kitchen, where he learned the importance of simple actions like handwashing to protect loved ones from getting sick. This early awareness grew into a broader understanding that we are constantly surrounded by factors that can impact our health and well-being.
Manny has since dedicated himself to protecting communities and promoting safe environments. During the aftermath of the Eaton and Palisades wildfires, he worked tirelessly to help residents return home safely by testing for contaminants such as VOCs, lead, asbestos, and other hazardous substances.
Committed to continuous growth, Manny aims to further his education and certifications to strengthen his expertise and continue educating communities in need. He is a Council-certified Structural Mold Investigator and is also licensed by the State of California as a Lead-Based Paint Sampler.
Outside of work, Manny enjoys immersing himself in video games, exploring new foods, listening to EDM, and spending time with his cats.
