Meet Our Management Team
Three childhood friends team up to bring you the healthiest cleaning services on the planet!
Lyndon Conaway
Founder & President of Las Vegas & Southern Nevada Operations
Cal Poly - San Luis Obispo, Business Administration Finance Concentration
Having witnessed the devastating effects toxic chemicals can have on loved ones' health, Lyndon is dedicated to protecting families from harmful germs and toxic cleaning chemicals so they can live healthier, less toxic lives at home, work and play.
He is an early champion of leading-edge technologies like probiotic cleaners and allergen management systems as well as re-introducing old, proven remedies like real steam into the cleaning arsenal.
Since creating a successful nontoxic cleaning company in the Silicon Valley with his childhood friend, Joel Smith, Lyndon brings that creative ambition to Las Vegas and its surrounding area. He is constantly looking for ways to introduce new services and improve the lives of his clients. He also looks to build community wherever he can so he volunteers his time at local non-profits and hosts client appreciation days.
Responsible for operations in Las Vegas and Southern Nevada, Lyndon brings over 15 years of innovation and a growth mindset to Germz Be Gone. "Germz Be Gone is not only on the leading edge of disinfection and cleaning services, but we lead as a socially responsible company--building a stronger, healthier community wherever we can."
Joel Smith
President of San Francisco Bay Area Operations (San Francisco, East Bay, Peninsula, South Bay, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill)
University of Washington, American Ethnic Studies
Playing on the winning Huskies Men's Basketball team, Joel used his team building skills and basketball talents to travel and explore the world. In his travels he learned the importance of keeping home, office and life clean, comfortable, and healthy. Returning to California, Joel was a key piece in building another winning squad, but this time with an old high school teammate (Lyndon Conaway). They formed one of the first eco-friendly, nontoxic cleaning companies in the Bay Area: Eco-Clean of Silicon Valley. From there, Joel would go on to help pioneer novel services such as: probiotic fogging, baby gear cleaning, sports gear disinfecting and many more convenient services clients have come to rely upon. After a successful exit from the cleaning market, Joel began dedicating his time to training the next generation of ballers.
Fast forward to today and seeing the need for real service in the market, Joel is back in the game with another nontoxic cleaning company: Germz Be Gone. Responsible for operations in the Bay Area, Joel has the dedication to customer health and service it takes to grow the brand in exponential ways.
As a father of three and with a spouse who suffers from allergies, Joel ensures a hygienic environment at home, gym, class, and office so you can be sure he'll provide the same for you. Says Joel, "I look forward to sharing what I have learned in my years of experience to improve and maintain spaces for all of our clients."
Qadree Salim
Fresno State University, Business Administration
President Central Coast Operations (Santa Barbara & San Luis Obispo Counties)
Qadree is proudly from Philadelphia, PA, and was born into a rather large family living in a small house. With many members of the household (both old and young), he learned cleanliness is next to godliness. As a child, Qadree was always helping his grandmother and parents clean the house; so much so that he had grown a love for cleaning and keeping his surroundings in top shape. Then his family was moved completely across the country to the Santa Barbara Central Coast. Growing up as a teenager in Lompoc, Qadree's first real jobs was working as a janitor cleaning the local car dealerships. It’s safe to say that all his life he's been cleaning and absolutely loves helping others get and keep their surroundings as clean as possible.
Several years ago Qadree owned and operated an eco-friendly cleaning company. They specialized in many different deep cleaning techniques for residential and commercial properties. It wasn’t until then he says, "that I truly realized the world needs a 100% eco friendly cleaning service. The kind of service that can get you the results you deserve; especially in times like this."
Now an integral piece of the management team for Germz Be Gone, Qadree is responsible for California Central Coast operations and brings his unique skill set of marketing and operations management to the forefront of the battle against today's dangerous germs and chemicals. "We have a zero tolerance policy when it come to germs and toxic chemicals." Qadree preaches. "We believe that we are the future. Germz Be Gone is gladly here to serve the Central Coast in every way possible."
