“Becoming part of the true leadership of ASHI is a great honor. It holds a high degree of responsibility for those elected, and I will make my best effort toward bettering ASHI in anyway I can. We need to keep ASHI as the guiding light of the industry and I believe this will be gained by making ASHI a known entity to all. It will also require the Membership to up the ante, as we have to back up ASHI’s ideals with the actions of the Membership. Professionalism and integrity are key. Thank you for the opportunity to serve the Society and the Membership.”

“My intentions for serving on the Board are to support and promote ASHI’s goals, both present and future, and work towards the betterment of the Society and home inspection as a profession. As one of the “old timers”  with 30 years in the business, I know the past and want to participate in shaping the future. I feel the obligation to pass on to the newer practitioners those hard-learned lessons of the business and to encourage them to participate in their chosen field as a whole and to not to try to “be an Army of one”.

 “I would like to thank the COR and the National Association for the nomination and support for the position of ASHI Alternate Director. Your confidence in me to serve in this important “bench” position encourages me to serve to the best of my ability. I will make every effort to stay abreast of any and all issues of the organization in order to seamlessly step into a full director’s position if I am ever needed. I will attend all Directors’ meetings, and involve myself in the business of the association. ASHI is the largest and best home inspectors association in the world and is so because of the unselfish dedication of the Members who serve to lead. I intend to continue that tradition.”
