I may be the young one here, but I've been involved with DC Home from the start 17 years ago. I was there when the reports were hand written and I was the driving force to computerize the process and the reports you now receive with every home inspection. I was the first to train and certify for Radon with DC Home Inspection Service, and I am mainly responsible for the web-site you are now on. I received my technical background from Hoban High School, The University of Akron, and training with the Akron Police Department. My background has provided me with knowledge above and beyond the typical aspects of the home inspection field including radon, mold, drug awareness, investigations, and the legal aspects pertaining to these types of transactions. My on-going training in radon, mold testing and remediation will only prove to help DC Home grow in these areas. I am committed to this company and I'd like to thank you in advance for selecting DC Home Inspection Service.

I look forward to meeting you in person at your home inspection.
