Extensive Background in the Building Trades
Steve’s experience in building trades began at just 16 years old, when he started working alongside his grandfather as a plasterer. From there, he completed a three-year plumbing apprenticeship and eventually joined the lathers/carpenter’s union at age 22. As a skilled lather/metal stud framer/welder/foreman, Steve was involved mostly in commercial and industrial construction. He built universities, hospitals, office buildings, and other large-scale projects until he retired at age 50. His years of hands-on experience with building materials makes him a home inspector who knows exactly what issues to look for in the home and how to best explain repair needs to his clients.
When He Isn’t Working…
Outside of his fulfilling career, Steve enjoys participating in outdoor activities with his best friend – his wife. He likes fishing, boating, golf, travel, horseback riding, and whitewater rafting.
