About Your Inspector
Built on Experience,
I started building houses in 2007—new builds, heritage renovations, and everything in between. In 2009, I moved to British Columbia for the mountains and never looked back.
Settled in the Columbia Valley with my family, I spent years in commercial building maintenance and residential construction before diving deep into building science—focusing on deep energy retrofits and passive house construction.
This unique combination of hands-on building experience and building science expertise is what sets my inspections apart.
