Mike is the owner and founder of First Choice Home and Commercial Inspections.
Most people can never truly say that they have found their purpose in life. Mike's decision to become a home inspector was based on his love and appreciation of architecture and old homes.
Mike spent the formative years of his life living in an old historic home located in South Weymouth, MA that was built in 1697. The house was located less than a mile from the 2nd settlement in Massachusetts (after the landing at Plymouth Rock).
Growing up in that colonial era home gave him a unique appreciation for old homes. He admired the workmanship and craftsmanship that went into building homes.
During the home inspection of his first home back in 2003, he diligently followed the home inspector around as the gentleman inspected the home. Mike knew at that moment he had found his calling in life.
After discovering the home inspection trade after purchasing his first home in 2003, he endeavored to become a home inspector, despite the difficulty of breaking into the business.
It took many years to get there, but eventually he found a master homebuilder who was transitioning into the home inspection trade. Mike apprenticed with this gentleman for 1.5 years and eventually acquired his home inspection license back in 2012.
Since then, Mike has added numerous additional credentials to his home inspection license, including HUD 203k Consultant, Pest Inspector, and Mold Inspector. To date, Mike has inspected over 5500 homes in his career.
Mike currently resides on the side of a mountain located in Weare, New Hampshire with his childhood sweetheart and wife Michelle and their numerous rescue dogs.
His hobbies include mountain biking, writing, history, and anything Sci-Fi / Pop Culture related.
