Vision Property Inspections opened its Maple Grove office in 2006.

My resume includes:

• 5 years in the construction field.
• A building inspection technology certificate from North Hennenpin Community Collage.
• Licensed as a building official in the state of Minnesota (15 years).
• Certification as a home inspector from American Home Inspectors Technology Institute (AHIT).

Working in the construction field along with enforcing the building code in the state of Minnesota has prepared me very well to become a home/commercial property inspector in the private sector. The certification from AHIT helped me to understand the difference from enforcing the building code and doing a private property inspection. The knowledge that I have gained over the years is invaluable. As a building official I have inspected hundreds of homes from the ground up. This includes everything from the footing/foundation to the final inspection. Seeing every step of the construction process has allowed me to identify possible problem areas and why these problem areas exist.

As a building official in the state of Minnesota, I am required to take 24 hours of continuing education every 2 years. This allows me to keep up on the current codes, new construction techniques and new construction materials being introduced to the construction industry.
