Many professional home inspectors have backgrounds in the building trades and I am no exception.  I have over 20 years of training and experience in heating, cooling, electrical, plumbing and carpentry.  I also have 4 years of window testing experience, which included water spray testing for moisture intrusion.  I have been conducting inspection work since 1999.

My formal inspection training comes from completion of the Building Inspection program at Inver Hills Community College.

With a Building or a Home Inspector license, continuing education is a requirement.  Construction methods, materials and codes are ever changing. Many hours of class time each year are needed to keep up to date.
