Home Inspections of Oregon

Mike brings a varied knowledge base and a wealth of experiences to the realm of home inspections. While teaching for 15 years at the high school and university levels, and then practicing medicine for another 15 years, throughout it all he always enjoyed the hands-on problem solving of home remodeling and construction with his own homes. His highly analytical mind (while not always appreciated by his wife!) and excellent communication skills will be very useful to you in your journey to home ownership. In his free time, he bikes, swims, runs, camps, flies his homebuilt airplane, runs a set of escape rooms in Corvallis, travels, and spends an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out how to cram 30 hours in a day. All with the support of his loving wife, Anna, and Penny, the dog that thinks she's a cat.

 Jerry comes from almost as diverse of a background as Mike. He started life in the Navy, then decided the Army had all of the fun toys. Then, he took a very long route through college and graduate school to get degrees in ecology, chemistry and conservation biology. After 15 years of work in those areas, he thought teaching high school science would be fun, but that turned out to be a brief intermission. Kristin, his much better half, made a comment that Jerry always enjoyed working with wood and fixing things around the house, so why not try that out? So, Jerry started 'The Fix It Man' as a handyman and residential remodeling business back in 2013. That took off, and he has not looked back! Starting a home inspection business with Mike seemed like a natural next step. They've known each other through the Corvallis Mountain Rescue Unit where they literally held each other’s lives in their hands and have helped many people get back to their loved ones. Jerry enjoys reading, hiking, mountain climbing, and long trips in the summer with Kristin, who is a fifth grade teacher.
