Meet Our Steering Committee.
Roman S. Shapoval
Roman is a former tech salesman, with a background in psychology, and quit his sales job when he saw how addictive software was being programmed to control behavior. When he learned how EMFs are linked to cancer after his mother and loved ones died from this disease, he became a Building Biology Advocate (BBA) researching wireless radiation. Roman's goal is to make the often intimidating field of EMFs simple to understand through his research-based blog The Power Couple. Roman also writes for Safe Living Technologies as a guest, as well as Children's Health Defense Canada.
