Your inspector - David Ritchie

Dave has a Bachelor's Degree in Building Construction Technology and over 20 years' experience in residential construction principles and practices, working in Utah, Oregon and California.

Dave served in the United States Navy for 21.5 years, retiring in 1999. He went back to residential construction/remodel for the next 11 years then he left the industry and moved into Home Inspections.

To become a home inspector, Dave studied with the American Home Inspector Training Institute and passed their exam, becoming a certified inspector. He later passed the exams for the California Real Estate Inspector Association and the National Home Inspector Exam becoming certified by CREIA and ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors). Dave meets the requirement to obtain at least 30 Continuing Education Units in order to remain in good standing with the Association.
