A home isn’t just a structure. It’s where people build their families, their routines, their safety, their freedom, and their sense of who they are. I feel that deeply — not just as an inspector, but as a husband and a father.
I have a wife I adore and a new baby who changed my world. I want our home to be safe, comfortable, and a place where they can grow without worry. That instinct — to protect what matters — is exactly why I do this work. I want you to find the right place to build your version of that.
My love for homes began early. I grew up riding in the bench seat of my father’s truck to the lumber yard every weekend. He’s a skilled carpenter, and I learned by watching him build my childhood home piece by piece. That’s where I fell in love with construction, craftsmanship, and the meaning of a home.
That connection never faded. My dad and I still work together on projects every week — the same easy rhythm, the same shared pride in doing things the right way. Those experiences shaped not only how I see houses, but how I show up for the people who live in them.
For almost 15 years, I worked as a public health inspector — a role that taught me how to evaluate risk, understand safety, and communicate clearly with people who depend on accurate information. But my heart was always with houses.
Eventually, I bought a 1910 home — full of charm, but also full of surprises: scary electrical, foundation cracks, moisture issues, dated plumbing, and a roof that had seen better decades. My wife and I were young and on a tight budget. We learned, we fixed what we could, and we waited patiently for what we couldn’t. It was hard, and sometimes still is, but we love our home.
Looking back, the kind of clarity a good inspector provides would have helped us make decisions sooner. That experience shapes how I inspect today.
Homes can feel overwhelming. I get that.
So we take it step by step.
I explain what matters for your safety, comfort, and long‑term peace of mind — clearly, calmly, and at your pace. You’ll always have space to ask questions, during the inspection and after.
Here’s what you can expect from me:
A calm, steady presence
Clear explanations without jargon
Honest insight into what matters most
Thoroughness without overwhelm
Support before, during, and after
I inspect homes because I care about the people who live in them.
And I want you to feel confident, informed, and ready for whatever comes next.
Equal parts heart, hustle, and a little bit of harmless chaos. I’m big on family, big on community, and probably over-invested in learning random things just because they matter (or might someday). I care a lot, laugh a lot, and tend to go all-in—whether that’s helping someone out, chasing a better way to do things, or just enjoying the ride along the way.
