Well my first post might as well be my introduction post. My name is John Coker and I'm the sole owner and inspector for Family Home Inspection LLC located in Virginia beach Virginia. I retired from the Navy last year and put into action the next step of my life. I decided to become a home inspectors almost 10 years ago when I was very dissatisfied with the home inspection I received on my first home. I figured if someone that bad could make a living in the field, I could not only do a lot better, but overall improve the quality of the industry. I built on my limited construction and inspection experience and began a heavy self study program. After retiring from the Navy, first I attended the AHIT 8 day course then I made numerous inspections with multiple seasoned inspectors here in Virginia as well as other states. One thing I have realized early on, the education will never cease. It's not just the requirements from associations or others, but my personal drive to be the best I can.

I was reffed to Active Rain by a fellow inspector who had plenty of good things to say. I hope to join the community and become an active and valuable member.  Maybe I can help others here as I'm sure to become a better inspector, businessman and communicator through all the talent and experience I see here.
