Your Inspector
When you're making one of life's biggest investments, you need a home inspector who combines technical expertise with clear communication. Someone who not only spots potential issues but explains them in a way that helps you make confident decisions.
Why Trust Me With Your Home Investment?
​
My journey to becoming your home inspector wasn't a straight path – and that's exactly what makes me uniquely qualified to protect your interests. With decades of hands-on experience in multiple trades (electrical, plumbing, framing, and more), I bring practical knowledge to every inspection. Add to that my 20+ years in customer service leadership, and you get an inspector who not only knows what to look for but knows how to explain it in terms that make sense.

The Problem I Saw (And Solved)
​
When I bought my first home, I discovered something concerning: Michigan doesn't require home inspector licensing. Anyone could call themselves an inspector – qualified or not. That's why I went above and beyond, earning dual certifications from InterNACHI and ICA, the industry's most respected organizations.
​
But I noticed another issue: Many inspectors were "killing deals" not because of what they found, but because of poor communication. That's where my background as a Director of Customer Service makes all the difference.
I won't just hand you a report full of technical jargon – I'll walk you through everything I find, ensuring you understand what's important and what isn't.
​
What You Get With Me

Clear, jargon-free explanations of every finding

Detailed insights from years of hands-on trade experience

A focus on your needs and priorities, not just a checklist

Someone who respects that this is your decision and your investment

Where I Serve
While I'm based in Oxford (a decision my family and I made for its amazing access to parks and water), I serve home buyers throughout Metro Detroit and parts of Mid Michigan – from Flint to Clinton Township to Royal Oak.
​
Beyond the Inspection
When I'm not protecting home buyers' investments, you'll find me enjoying Michigan's lakes, playing cornhole (maybe a few too many games!), or catching live music shows – a passion from my earlier career as a wedding DJ. But most importantly, I'm spending time with my wife and two daughters, who remind me daily why helping families find safe, sound homes matters so much.
