Mike’s career path reflects his fascination with learning, designing, building, and teaching. Among other things, he has been a chimney sweep, a mover, a vice-president/general manager of a moving company, a cleaner, and the owner of his own bicycle mechanic business. His mechanical aptitude and curiosity about how things work prepared him to become an ardent and detail-oriented home inspector who digs into the nooks and crannies of clients’ homes to get them the best information available. Mike spent much of his childhood in the Twin Cities. When he reached 7th grade, his parents moved the family to a very old “hobby” farm in Buffalo, MN. He spent much of his high school and college years helping his parents maintain and improve the farmhouse, farm buildings, and farm machinery, all while running his own chimney sweeping business on the weekends.

Several years after graduating, he met his wife Kerri, also a “Gustie,” and helped put her through law school.
