Relevant Home Inspection Experience and Education
- IFSTA (International Fire Service Training Association) Building construction
- Attended annual (2 day) Global Leadership Conference for 7 consecutive years (2013-2019)
- SOPHI (School of Professional Home Inspection) Certified Home Inspector – Burien, WA
- Field training through American Home Inspectors Training school (AHIT) – Renton, WA
- InterNACHI (International Association of Certified Home Inspectors) Certified Home Inspector
- Washington State Department of Agriculture (Licensed Structural Pest Inspector)
- CompletedInterNACHI How to Inspect Manufactured and Mobile Homes Course
Over the years I have attended annual leadership conferences learning how to better myself a little bit more each year. I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, camping, reading books, wood working and personal development, always striving to better myself to help and encourage others.
So how does my background assist me in being a home inspector? With over 25 years in emergency services, the knowledge and hands-on skills I acquired during that time, my strong points are interpersonal skills and knowing how to communicate and interact with others. To better understand how fire traveled throughout a building, I needed to have basic knowledge and understanding of building construction which gave me a better idea how to deal with the situations we were faced with. I performed company fire safety inspections in businesses and created detailed professional reports of my findings for our customers.
Attending and completing my home inspection training gave me a more well rounded understanding and advanced knowledge inside and out.
My recent and past experience and education allowed me to build strong communication skills to share and explain what I’m doing so you feel more comfortable and confident in your choice in choosing me as your home inspector. I look forward to the opportunity to earn your confidence and serve you.
Where am I from?:
I was raised in Helena, Montana. Before becoming an inspector, I was a firefighter in the US Air Force with 5 years of honorable service. Later I worked as a 911 Dispatcher eventually transitioning into a fantastic career as a firefighter/EMT in Helena retiring with 25 years of service.
I took pride in giving the best customer service and patient care with professionalism and compassion helping many on their worst day. I now look forward to helping those on their best day.
