This question haunted me after the devastating M6.1 Napa earthquake in 2014. In the aftermath, I couldn't help but wonder how different the outcome might have been if Seismocon had been available during that critical moment. Unfortunately, this innovative technology didn’t exist yet at the time of that seismic event.

It was on that dark Sunday morning in August when my family and I found ourselves surrounded by dust and rubble. In that chaotic and frightening moment, the idea for Seismocon was born—a solution driven by the desire to help others avoid the trauma we experienced. Our mission became clear: to develop a structural health monitoring system that would empower individuals and families with the knowledge and guidance needed to safely navigate post-earthquake conditions and other natural disasters.

Since that day, the journey has been one of constant innovation, determination, and an unwavering commitment to improving the safety and well-being of those facing similar challenges in the future.
