I am a Certified Master Inspector® (CMI) with more than 12 years of experience inspecting homes in Maine. To be considered by the board to become a CMI®, you must of completed over 1,000 inspections and/or hours of continuing education, have been in business for more than three years, and adhere to the Master Inspector Certification Board’s strict Code of Ethics. You also have also successfully completed a criminal background check.

As a Maine native, I take great pride in calling this state home—and I’m honored to help others do the same. Maine truly is one of a kind. I genuinely love what I do because it allows me to meet new people and travel throughout this magnificent state every day.

When I’m not inspecting homes, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our two children, who bring tremendous joy to our lives. We also have two dogs, a lab named Murphy and Boston Terrier named Duffy. I love being outdoors and taking advantage of everything Maine has to offer. In addition, I proudly served as an on-call firefighter in the town of Bridgton and Harrison. It is challenging yet incredibly rewarding work, and I value the opportunity to help my fellow residents and surrounding communities. I encourage anyone who has ever considered joining their local fire department to do so—there are many vital roles beyond interior firefighting, including fire police and support positions.

My qualifications include over 15 years of experience in the building industry, more than five years as a facilities maintenance technician for Maine’s largest commercial building, and ownership of a small general contracting business. Much of my knowledge and skill comes from working closely with my father, a Master Carpenter who built numerous custom homes and handcrafted furniture. My father, a U.S. Army veteran (SSGT, Military Police K-9 handler), passed away in the spring of 2022. It is believed that exposure to Agent Orange may have contributed to his untimely death. His craftsmanship, work ethic, and integrity continue to influence how I approach my work today.

In addition to completing hundreds of hours of inspection training, I earned the Certified Master Inspector® designation and am a proud member of InterNACHI, the world’s largest home inspection association. Unfortunately, the State of Maine does not license home inspectors, which makes choosing the right inspector even more important. I strongly encourage clients to select a Certified Master Inspector® in good standing to ensure the highest level of professionalism and expertise.

One of the main reasons I became a home inspector was to help people make informed decisions during one of the most exciting—and stressful—times of their lives. Before starting Brightech, friends and family often asked me to accompany them and their chosen inspectors to prospective homes. I was shocked to see some inspectors arrive without even basic tools such as a ladder or flashlight. I knew I could—and should—do better.

Having personally experienced multiple real estate transactions as both a buyer and seller, I fully understand how overwhelming the process can be and how often people ask themselves, “Am I making the right decision?” My goal is for you to look back with confidence, knowing you made the right choice for you and your family. I am truly invested in protecting your best interests.

Thank you for considering me.
