I have the practical knowledge and hands on experience of building homes.

There is no substitute for hands on experience. 
As the son of a home builder, I was on the job site in one way or another from the time I could walk. In my lifetime I have built new homes, performed remodels, and done renovation work for myself and various companies in Gunnison, Crested Butte, and Colorado Springs. I have also performed all the maintenance and upgrades on my own homes and fix up cabin as well as helped friends and family with their maintenance and home improvement projects.

I have the pleasure of educating other inspectors on how to perform home inspections.

I am a Certified Master Inspector®

• What does this mean? It means that I have:
• Performed over 4,000 inspections and ancillary tests
• Have more that 600 continuing professional education units (more than my college degrees funny enough)
• Have been in business for more than 9 years
• I have joined an elite group of inspectors (104 in Colorado including retired)
• Have agreed to abide by the industry’s toughest Code of Ethics
• And have agreed to periodic background checks​
• I am trained to use and own my own state-of-the-art inspection tools and reporting software so that my clients can make informed decisions about the homes they want to buy or sell.
