Lessons from 21 Years in the Air Force That Shape How I Inspect Homes

When you’re buying a home in Central Arkansas, whether in Cabot, Little Rock, Jacksonville, Sherwood, Conway or greater Central Arkansas, you want more than a checklist. You want confidence. You want someone who will give you the truth, no shortcuts, and no surprises.

Before I became a professional licensed home inspector, I spent 21 years in the United States Air Force. Those decades shaped how I lead, how I work, and how I serve. The lessons I learned overseas and at home now guide every single inspection I perform here in Arkansas.


Integrity Above All

In the Air Force, integrity wasn’t optional, it was the standard. I once had to refuse an unsafe order during a deployment because protecting my team was more important than following a flawed directive.

Today, that same principle carries over into my inspections. If I see a concern in your home, whether it’s a cracked foundation in Cabot, moisture damage in a Little Rock crawlspace, or faulty wiring in Jacksonville, I’ll tell you the truth. My loyalty is to your safety and peace of mind.


Attention to Detail Saves Homes

Military service taught me that missing the smallest detail can have serious consequences. A loose bolt, an overlooked signal, it all mattered.

Now, when I inspect homes across Central Arkansas, I bring that same sharp eye. A minor roof leak in Sherwood, an improperly sealed HVAC line in Conway, or a missing attic vent in Beebe may look small at first, but catching it early could save you thousands in repairs.


Service Means Putting Others First

As a First Sergeant, my mission was to take care of people so they could accomplish theirs. That mindset hasn’t changed. My role as a home inspector isn’t just to check boxes, it’s to serve families.

Every inspection report I deliver in Cabot, Little Rock, and the surrounding area is designed to be clear, actionable, and helpful. It’s not just about identifying problems; it’s about giving you a plan forward so you feel confident in your investment.
