The one thing that you will find in my approach to being a home energy auditor is that I work really hard at it which translates to better results, experiences and information for you.
If you care to learn more...all of this started in the hospitality industry...
In the hotel business people and high quality service are the top priorities. It came naturally to me and I received recognition for my work while with Hilton.

Teamwork is also important. Coordination, proper management techniques and attention to detail make a hotel operation flow smoothly.
As it turns out, there are many similarities to running a successful hotel as there are to planning and executing a home improvement project that pays off.
The Start of My Exterior Remodeling Experience
In 2003 a friend started a small window company and gained some momentum and wanted me to help. I had never worked in the home improvement industry at the time.
We focused on the overall process and the customer experience and the company quickly took off and lasted for twelve years.
I immediately felt as though I was in the right place. I loved to experiment with new products such as demonstrating how laminated window glass works to add safety by smashing it with a baseball bat. I am the guy in the red jacket in the video from 2008.
My curiosity did not end with windows. During that time I learned a tremendous amount of information about other important home improvement projects such as siding, roofing and gutters.

Setting a New Path in the Maryland Home Remodeling Space
Shortly after I took on roles with other local contractors to try and figure out what made them successful and it did not take too much time to discover I was lacking passion. I liked helping others make improvements to their home, but something was missing.
In 2017 I discovered a fascinating way to help. Air sealing, attic insulation, proper ventilation and low-cost HVAC improvements are a few on the list. I was eager to learn more.
The certification was one-part science and one-part residential building knowledge. I turned out to be a great fit and earned my Building Analyst certification through the Building Performance Institute at the end of that year.
These days, I have earned all of my licenses and I help Maryland homeowners solve their home comfort issues and lower their bills. BGE and Pepco customers are signing up for the work through the Home Performance rebate program and the results have consistently been very good.
Why Should You Get Your BGE or Pepco Energy Audit with Me?
I would always emphasize to my window and siding customers how all of the exterior parts of your home work together. At the time, like many in my field, I failed to see how they connect to the inside of a home as well.
My latest home improvement education has me using three dimensional thinking to give you the best possible information and advice. With over 1500 home energy audits under my belt in Maryland, I know the places to look.
In addition to superb energy audit experience and detailed reporting package I also offer the following:
