My background might be a bit different than many other home inspectors. I worked as a plumber’s helper when I was a kid because my father owned a plumbing business. The things I learned helping my dad on residential and commercial plumbing sites has stayed with me throughout my life. Then, as an adult, I became a police officer in a large city in Southeast Florida. I have bought and sold many homes and I am familiar with the process.

To earn extra money, I worked for a General Contractor during the day while working as a police officer at night. For this contractor, I performed plumbing repairs and installations, and worked as an apprentice doing construction and remodeling. I did this for about 10 years. When the building and plumbing with the contractor was slow, I worked for myself doing plumbing repairs for my family, coworkers and other close associates.
