I am a genuine native of Idaho.
I was born in Burley and was raised about 15 miles outside of
Kuna at a time when Kuna had a population of only a few hundred.
My youngest son is still in elementary school, and my
eldest
son is serving in the US Navy and is an Aviation Electrician in a
fighter squadron which is composed of F/A-18 Super Hornets and is
deployed aboard the nuclear powered aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan
(CVN-76). My
first
child, a
daughter, is married to a great guy and she teaches English in the
Meridian School District. My beautiful wife of many years
is not
only the
center of my world... she is also my very best friend.
I joined the United States Navy at
the age of 17 and attained the rank of Chief Petty Officer.
I
am
now retired from active Naval service, after visiting 72 different
countries and spending about half my
life at sea. I
have about 10 years of experience as a mechanical engineer.
I also worked for several years in the
construction
industry. This includes primarily the areas of roofing and
framing, but also has included work in these areas: concrete,
electrical, plumbing, drywall, finish carpentry, installing doors and
windows, sinks, toilets, showers, and bathtubs. I have also
done
complete remodeling projects on several different homes spanning the
last 18 years. I performed my first home inspection in
Mitchell, South Dakota
in 1990. I
have a
Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of New York.
I am fully insured. I display
vehicle signs as a security measure and as a
courtesy to my clients,
their new neighbors, and their Agents. I am a member of the
following
organizations, or I have completed the following training:
