- Description
- Locally owned & operated. Master Home Inspector in business since 2004 with over 2000 inspections completed. Florida State Inspector License #HI 6. All types of inspections including Wind Mitigation.
About Me:
I grew up in Southern Maryland and was on active military duty during the Vietnam conflict.
I retired as a senior Cartographic Analyst from the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, with over 36 years experience with testing and evaluating products and systems. During my career I completed courses at the University of North Dakota, The University of Virginia and the University of Maryland focusing on Earth Sciences and Historical Geology,
I was recently awarded the designation of Master Home Inspector, of which there are presently only approximately 400 Master Inspectors in the country. I am a Florida State Licensed home inspector and I am insured and bonded.
I am continually adding training certificates to my résumé and expanding my knowledge and level of service. With my background in the construction trades there is practically no component or system in a home that I have not built, installed, repaired or replaced.
I am a member of:
* InterNACHI (International Association of Certified Home Inspectors)
* Past President and current Director of the Northwest Florida Home Inspectors Association
* Affiliate member of the Pensacola Association of Realtors
* Member of the local Business Services Group in Pensacola.
