As a Senior Inspector with BPG, my experience inspecting thousands of Residential and Commercial properties including Condos, Small Office Buildings, Churches, Retail/Storefronts, Multi-Family and Single-Family homes will serve you well.
After graduating from Ranken Technical College with an Associate Degree in Science & Technology, I started my career as a Quality Control Engineering Technician at a manufacturing company in the testing lab where I began developing my talents of performance based defect recognition and comprehensive technical report writing. Before long, I worked my way up to a managerial position leading my team.
Then, while going back to school to study Engineering through the University of Missouri at St. Louis (UMSL), my career path led to the Facility Engineering Department of St. Louis County Water Company. In the field, my responsibilities evolved to overseeing maintenance personnel and outside contractors. At my desk, I researched technical construction contracts for capital projects. While there I gained experience with building codes and construction standards.
