There is no name in DPOR data base with this name.
Plus the contractor license number is wrong. Should be 10 digit number with no letter such as: 2705113817

Inspectors love sting operations. Drop the dime. It can't hurt to have him checked.

I'm always proud to present my license. I've worked hard for it.
