I was born and raised in Marquette. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Michigan Tech and I am a certified Home Inspector by American Home Inspectors Training (AHIT). I am incredibly detail oriented and driven to go above and beyond to ensure our clients are satisfied.
I live in Marquette with my wife, son and our three dogs. On the weekends you will find us outside near the water or on one of our great trail systems enjoying the UP.
