I am the founder and primary inspector of North County Inspections Inc., a home inspection company serving the greater San Diego area, and parts of Orange County. As an InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector my passion for home construction and building architecture began fairly early, as one of my first jobs was working in the home building and concrete construction field. After several years working with some of the top home inspectors in San Diego, I set out to establish North County Inspections Inc. with the goal of offering inspection services that uphold the gold standard in the home inspection industry. As a home owner myself, and currently working towards helping to design my family's next home, I believe that every aspect of a building plays an important part in making a house into a truly safe home. Purchasing a home is a huge financial commitment and can oftentimes seem like an overwhelming experience to many, therefore it is our goal to help guide our clients through the inspection process so they can proceed with greater confidence in the purchase of their home. I approach each inspection with the same purpose and careful process, no matter the age or condition of the home. When all is said and done, I ask myself; "Would I buy this home for my family to live in?". I look forward to being of service to you in this important step in your home buying process.

We hired our inspector after finding him(you guessed it...) on Yelp! He was a prior-service Marine and I was transitioning out of the Marine Corps at the time myself. I was fascinated by the process and how similar it was to my experience inspecting aviation. From then on, I was hooked!
