Buying a home is the most significant investment most of us will ever make. In a growing community like Cullman, that investment represents more than just a roof over your head — it’s the foundation of your family’s financial future. When the stakes are this high, the quality of the information you receive during the due diligence process is your greatest asset.
While I operate strictly within the Standards of Practice for home inspectors, my path to this profession was forged in high-stakes environments. With 25 years in electrical engineering — including five years as a NASA International Space Station flight controller and nearly 20 years with Alabama Power as a system engineer — I spent my career analyzing the complex systems that power our world.
I don’t perform engineering evaluations in the field, but I do bring an "engineer’s eye" to every property. This means I am trained to spot the subtle "symptoms" of a defect — the small irregularities in an electrical panel or the minute signs of moisture intrusion — that others might simply overlook. An investment is only as sound as the information behind it, and at Gemini Home Inspections LLC, my goal is to provide a level of thoroughness that matches the weight of your purchase.
When I’m not evaluating a home's condition, you’ll likely find me on the water. Having competed in over 75 Major League Fishing events, I’ve found a surprising carry-over between a tournament and an inspection: Both require a highly tuned sense of observation and the knowledge that the most important details are often hidden just beneath the surface.
Built on resilience, driven by purpose
The mission behind Gemini Home Inspections was born out of a life-changing event. In September 2022, my family experienced a total loss when our home was destroyed by an electrical fire. While we were blessed that our family and pets escaped safely, we lost everything else.
Through the process of rebuilding, I realized I wanted to use my technical background to help others avoid the tragedy my family faced. I love helping people, and because our fire was electrical in nature, this work is personal. I’m not just checking boxes; I’m using 25 years of experience to help protect your family and your future.
This business would not be possible without my family. My wife, Katie, a Registered Nurse (BSN), and I have been married for 26 years since our days together at the University of South Alabama. Our oldest son, Sean, recently completed a five-year contract in the USMC, and our 16-year-old, William, is a first-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do with a beautiful spirit for guitar and art.
We chose Cullman for its beauty — the downtown atmosphere, the annual Christkindlmarkt, and the way we actually get to see all four seasons. But mostly, we stayed because of the people. The support this community showed us after our fire cemented our love for this town. At Gemini, we are proud to be part of the Cullman business community, ensuring that as our neighbors invest in their homes, they do so with the peace of mind they deserve.
