Mike is the owner / founder of First Choice Home and Commercial Inspections.

You know when you have found your calling in life. At that point, you realize that you don't want to spend any more time doing any other type of endeavor.

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, Mike diligently followed the home inspector around as the inspector inspected the home. Mike knew at that precise moment he had found his calling in life.

Home Inspections is a difficult trade to break into.

It took an additional 7 years to get there, but Mike never gave up hope. Eventually, he found a master homebuilder who was transitioning into the home inspection trade. Mike apprenticed with him for one and a half years, eventually acquiring his home inspection license in 2012.

Since then, Mike has added numerous credentials to his home inspection repertoire, including HUD / FHA 203k Consultant, Pest Inspector, and Mold Inspector. At this writing, Mike has inspected over 6500 homes / commercial buildings.

Mike resides on the side of a mountain in Weare, New Hampshire with his childhood sweetheart Michelle and their numerous rescue dogs and Guinea Pigs. 

His hobbies include mountain biking, writing, history, and anything Sci-Fi / Pop Culture related.
