Ryan Waddell, IEP
Disabled combat veteran. Founder. Lead inspector.
Ryan Waddell is the President and lead Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP) of Bluecord Environmental Solutions LLC. A disabled combat veteran who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom from 2005 to 2009 with the U.S. Army Infantry, Ryan deployed to Tarmiyah, Iraq from 2005 to 2007 with 4th Infantry Division, 1st Brigade Combat Team, serving alongside 1st Battalion 22nd Armor and 1st Battalion 66th Armor in Bravo and Charlie Company operations.
After entering the environmental and disaster recovery industry following Hurricane Harvey, Ryan spent years witnessing both the good and the broken within the remediation world. Following the devastating Rogers tornadoes in 2024, he founded Bluecord Environmental Solutions with a mission rooted in integrity, servant leadership, and Kingdom minded values, to dissolve false trust, wash feet, and raise the standard within the disaster and remediation industry.
Guided deeply by Romans 8:28, Ryan believes environmental work should not only restore buildings, but also serve people with honesty, compassion, and excellence during some of the hardest moments of their lives.
Bluecord was created to help homeowners navigate sudden losses with clarity in an industry where confusion, fear, and conflicting interests often take over the process. Rather than operating from an upsell mentality, Bluecord focuses on identifying what is truly reasonable and necessary for the health, safety, and recovery needs of the client. Through detailed environmental assessments, defensible documentation, and transparent communication, Bluecord helps ensure homeowners fully understand the condition of their property and that their claim is represented as accurately and thoroughly as possible throughout the restoration process.
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to his purpose.

Operations
Jessica Jobst
Schedules inspections, manages lab partner handoffs, prepares reports for delivery. The voice on the phone before the inspection happens and the person who walks the deliverable across the finish line.
§ The name
The Blue Cord.
The Infantry shoulder cord. Color reference PMS 5415 Infantry Blue. Awarded at Fort Benning after Infantry One Station Unit Training. Worn on the right shoulder of the dress uniform. Recognized at a glance by anyone who served alongside the Infantry.
The cord is not a marketing prop. It is the reason this company is named what it is named. It is the reason inspections run the way they run. Standards are met. Chain of custody is documented. Reports are written so that the insured, the insurer, and any third party can read the same document and reach the same conclusion. That is the discipline the cord stands for.
