Prior to becoming a home inspector, I was a licensed general contractor in Washington State, (Cameo Construction Services). During that time, many of the composite wood sidings were experiencing failure so I gained considerable experience with siding repair and replacement. As I was closely tied to the real estate community, I performed many repairs which were identified through home and pest inspections. This included sub structure rot repair, crawl space drainage mitigation, bath and kitchen repairs and numerous repairs related to wood rot decay. I accomplished many additions and remodels including HUD 203K restorations. Cameo also did residential roofing and became a preferred contractor for Owens Corning roofing products. I started Cameo Home Inspection Services in 1999 and as of 2022, I have personally performed well over 10,000 inspections. I have been a frequent contributor to the local paper and have also written for technical journals.

I developed a number of training programs and have had the opportunity to present at national home inspector conferences and pest management seminars. I wrote a home inspection book for consumers and realtors called, "What if Houses Could Talk?", as well as a book for new realtors, "Cameo's Realtor Assistance Packet".
