My Background
I’m educated, with a BS in accounting from SUNY Binghamton. I’m well-read, inquisitive, and personable, with a level of skepticism only age can bring. I am a technologist and self-learner with computer repair, appliance repair, and advanced-level self-taught automobile repair skills. I’ve pulled and rebuilt lawnmower engines, progressing to automobile engines. I do all but the heaviest repairs to my car. I’m self-taught in automobile electrical diagnosis and repair as well.
In Summary
I have a practiced eye when evaluating homes I visit, which I attribute to my 30+ years of DIY repairs. Many people told me, “You should be a home inspector.” I thought about it, researched it, and realized home inspection would fit me well. I’ve recognized leaning walls, cracks, leaky plumbing, sagging floors and roof lines, wet plaster, poorly installed drywall, bad wiring, and poor craftsmanship since I was a young teen helping my dad fix the family homestead in Scarsdale, NY. I’ve done handy-man repairs for many neighbor’s houses as well.
In Conclusion
As you can see, I’ve had many years of experience in both DIY repairs and in my prior field of computer networking and desktop support. This experience has made me a better home inspector and radon measurement specialist. I love learning new skills and have obtained many credentials. I’m currently a candidate for the Vice Presidency of my local NY-Metro American Society of Home Inspectors chapter (ASHI). If you hire me, you will gain my Home Inspection credentials and my ability to “problem solve” and look at things with an eye for detail. These skills will help me to catch some potential issues early on and also help steer you in the right direction for your new home. If you want a home inspection or radon measurement, please get in touch with me for a free consultation.
