Team Soria Environmental

Armando Soria was born and raised right here in Salinas, Ca. He attended North Salinas High School and later graduated from The Monterey Peninsula Fire Academy in 2010 at Monterey Peninsula College.

 After the academy, Armando began applying to various municipalities, during which time Armando was hired by a local restoration company that allowed him to learn a new trade while still pursuing a career in firefighting.

   In 2012 Armando moved to Houston, TX to continue to pursue a career in the fire service, however, he was promoted to Operations Manager and had the opportunity to work for a large restoration company that would send him traveling throughout the continental US after major natural disasters. While in Texas, Armando and his wife, Marisol Soria, had 2 beautiful daughters, Sofia Isabel and Mia Rose.

 After much consideration, Armando and Marisol decided to move back home to Salinas, CA where their daughters could be surrounded with family. Marisol is a Labor and Delivery nurse at Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital.

   After 10 years in the restoration industry, Armando opened his company, Soria Environmental in January 2021, offering water damage clean up and mold remediation services. 

Armando founded his company on the principles of customer service and community support. the local business community.
