His career has been defined by a commitment to understanding how homes are built, how they perform over time, and how to identify and resolve issues that can impact the safety and integrity of a property. As a NORMI-certified mold inspector and remediator, a Virginia Class A Contractor, and a longtime construction professional, Michael leads every project with an emphasis on thorough evaluations, practical solutions, and lasting results.

Building a Lifetime of Construction and Inspection Experience
Michael’s journey in the construction industry began at the age of 12, when he started working as a general laborer. Over the years, he steadily advanced through the industry, eventually becoming the Superintendent of multi-million-dollar housing projects. This progression provided firsthand experience with every stage of residential construction, from the earliest phases of a project to the final details that ensure a home’s quality and longevity.
Throughout his career, Michael has owned and operated three contracting companies licensed in Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland, as well as two home inspection companies in Virginia. These businesses allowed him to work with homeowners, builders, buyers, and sellers across a wide variety of residential projects while developing a comprehensive understanding of building systems and construction practices.
His experience extends across numerous trades, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, flooring, painting, and other essential components of residential construction. His West Virginia Residential Contractor license authorized him to practice multiple trades, including electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, giving him broad technical knowledge that continues to benefit clients facing complex property concerns.
Although Michael also spent time in both the military and aviation, his professional career consistently returned to his passion for building, evaluating, and improving homes.

His participation allows him to contribute practical industry knowledge while helping shape standards that support consumers and qualified professionals alike.
His commitment to education reflects the same philosophy that guides his work with clients: informed decisions lead to better outcomes.
