About Wisdom
Helping You Understand the Story of the Home
“By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.”
Hi, I’m Mike — the inspector behind Wisdom Home Inspection Services.
More importantly, I'm someone who believes in doing the right thing, treating others the way I'd want to be treated, and giving people the honest answers they deserve — without pressure or sales tactics.
With 25 years of hands-on experience in building maintenance and landscaping, I launched this business to help homeowners make confident, informed decisions about one of life's biggest purchases: their homes.
That's more than a motto — it's my mission.
Educator Background
I spent years as a public school teacher serving as a high school band director. Today, I continue giving back by subbing in my local school district and playing in the community band.
Guided by Wisdom
I don’t pretend to know every answer — but I promise to find the ones that matter most to you. The only dumb question is the one you don’t ask. I believe people are naturally curious.
Telling the Story
I tell the story of the home, from the roof to the basement — because every home has one. My goal is to make sure your new home is safe, efficient, and comfortable for you to live in.
To agents and brokers:
"I see myself as part of the team, working alongside you, mortgage lenders, appraisers, and insurance representatives to ensure every buyer is supported with clarity and care."
