Before WOLLMAN, ARNOLD, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.
      Barry Boone appeals the district court’s1 order affirming the Commissioner’s
denial of disability insurance benefits after a hearing before an administrative law
judge (ALJ). For reversal, Boone argues that the ALJ’s decision is not supported by
substantial evidence on the record as a whole, and in particular, that (1) the ALJ’s
finding that Boone could perform his past relevant work (PRW) as an exterminator
and quality-assurance worker is not supported by substantial evidence, and the error
was not harmless; and (2) the ALJ erred in discounting the opinion of Boone’s treating
physician, Samuel Burchfield, M.D.

      Following careful de novo review, we conclude that substantial evidence in the
record as a whole supports the denial of Boone’s application. See Halverson v.
Astrue, 

, 927-31 (8th Cir. 2010) (standard of review). We agree with
Boone that substantial evidence does not support a finding that he could perform his
PRW as an exterminator and quality-assurance worker, but Boone cannot show that
the ALJ would have decided his case differently if the error had not occurred: the
ALJ continued the sequential evaluation to find, based on the testimony of a
vocational expert, that there were other jobs that a person with Boone’s residual
functional capacity and environmental restrictions could perform. See Byes v. Astrue,

, 917-18 (8th Cir. 2012). Further, we conclude that the ALJ properly
discounted Dr. Burchfield’s opinion based on its inconsistency with the physician’s
medical-examination findings and with other medical evidence in the record as a
whole. See Perkins v. Astrue, 

, 897-98 (8th Cir. 2011).

      The judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
