GENERAL OVERVIEW Geep Moore is a third generation building/remodeling contractor. He has 38 years of experience in the building industry and has been involved in the construction of new homes and additions as well as remodeling projects, property damage repairs, and small commercial construction projects. In conjunction with the insurance property damage repair work, Geep has developed a structural drying business and has negotiated well over a thousand insurance claims between the insured and insurance companies. Through this he has also become quite familiar with mold—its remediation and protocols. Since 1992 Geep has provided forensic construction consulting as it relates to construction problems and defects. He has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in construction litigation of new homes, remodeling, preexisting homes and commercial work as an expert in depositions, discovery, and court. In each case, he has provided documentation and testimony as to the problem, causation, solution, and costs associated with the solution. Through all of these experiences, Geep has become convinced of the need for arbitration and mediation and has worked through the Louisiana State Home Builders Association to develop contracts with ADR clauses.

degree in Construction Engineering Technology from Louisiana Tech University in
May 1975. In 2005 he completed the CDRS training program in Theory, Practice and
