About READI

I am the Owner and Founder of READI Collect. I have been in the Drug and Alcohol testing industry for a long time and have seen it progress from the days of paper forms sent by mail (yes actual postal service mail) to electronic CCF's and now in to the fully automated, APP driven world of today. We built READI Collect to modernize and strengthen the drug and alcohol testing industry nationwide. My focus has always been on creating scalable, technology-driven solutions that simplify compliance while delivering dependable, real-world results for employers.

We founded READI Collect with a commitment to providing comprehensive DOT and non-DOT testing services, and program management rooted in accuracy, responsiveness, and regulatory expertise. Over time, we have built a trusted national presence by emphasizing operational excellence and consistent client support.

With READI Collect, we developed a mobile, on-demand testing and specimen collection platform designed to connect certified collectors with employers in real time. By integrating streamlined technology with a nationwide professional network, we’ve created a rapid-response system that improves turnaround times, increases transparency, and enhances workforce safety.

I am driven by innovation, accountability, and the belief that compliance services should be efficient, accessible, and built around client needs. Through strategic growth and strong industry partnerships, I continue working toward my goal of making safety and compliance as streamlined and easy to achieve as possible.
