I’ve been interested in houses for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm around an electrician, I was exposed to the trades early on, developing a lifelong curiosity about building science and home construction.
I served in the Army as a Cavalry Scout, where observation, attention to detail, and composure under pressure weren’t optional.
I later worked as a tradeshow technician, setting up complex videowall systems at large-scale events. That experience led me into producing professional training media designed to help installers achieve industry certification.
Each role taught me something valuable: how to work with complex systems, communicate technical information clearly, and pay close attention to the details. Home inspection gave me a way to combine those skills with my interest in how homes work.
Today, my goal is simple: to give you a clear, honest understanding of the home in front of you. I’m at my best when there’s pressure to get it right the first time.
Every home I inspect is evaluated with a methodical, system-by-system approach. I start with the roof and exterior, then work my way inside, evaluating rooms and interior components, appliances, electrical, plumbing, and major mechanicals, eventually ending up in the attic.
A great inspection isn’t about creating panic or handing over an intimidating list of defects. It’s about giving you clear, balanced answers so you understand what’s going on with the home and why it matters.
I’m here to help you look beyond the listing and understand what you’re buying. As an InterNACHI® Certified Professional Inspector (CPI®), I bring a technical mindset, a commitment to continued education, and a straightforward approach to every inspection.
