During my professional career I have always been a consummate professional. I have a well-rounded work background which includes 17 years of military service in the Navy where I served as an equipment operator in a construction battalion and a firefighter aboard Navy vessels. After serving active duty to our  country on 3 deployments overseas during Operation Desert Storm, I remained with the military as a recruiter, a reservist and a SeaBee. Upon completion of my military career, I found success in the armored car industry and held distinguished positions within companies such as Loomis Fargo and Diebold Inc. After achieving success within this industry, I felt it was time to pursue my lifelong dream of independent business ownership which led me to opening my own Pillar to Post franchise in Fairhope, Alabama. Following my pattern of professional success, I built this franchise from the ground up with over 350 inspections per year on average, becoming recognized and awarded as a “Local Best for Home Inspections- Real Estate” with top-notch customer ratings from 2013-2019. I was a member of Baldwin County Board of realtors and sat on several committees and chairing the events committee for two years. During this time period was recognized as the Affiliate of the Year for two straight years. In 2019 I sold the franchise to relocated to Torrington, Connecticut with Melissa, my wife of thirty years to be closer to our three children and five grandchildren. This relocation allowed me to meet the Pillar to Post franchise owner here and once again become a member of Pillar to Post as a inspector in Litchfield county. My dedication to this profession and to our customers remains my utmost priority.
