Meet The Team

Reuben always thought he’d be a teacher when he grew up because he loves sharing his knowledge with others. In a sense, that’s a lot of what home inspections are about, so he truly does what he loves. While Reuben no longer does home inspections, he teaches home inspector seminars all over the country. He helps to coach his daughter's hockey team during the winter, plays disc golf in the summer, and does CrossFit year-round. | President, ASHI Heartland Chapter (2014 – 2019) | Director, ASHI (2017-2019) | Director, EBPHI (2022 - 2026) | Member, EO Minnesota

When friends visited George’s home, they knew they were in for a tour. Whether it’s to explain how a tankless water heater works, the difference between linoleum and vinyl, or why he will never fix the crack in the wall, they politely listen, nod their heads, and probably think “I could use a little more wine…” Writing in third person feels so weird. And it’s exhausting. So, I’ll break the fourth wall with an update. In 2020 I moved into Katie’s condo. It’s strange to be my age referring to a ‘girlfriend’. Don’t make it weird. We’ll just call her Katie. Aaaaaaany way, I love the condo. I still get to find little projects to do (with prior Katie approval) and occasionally explain to neighbors how water source heat pumps work. Heat pumps are pretty magical. Google it.

Growing up, he helped his father, an experienced DIYer, maintain the family home, a 1950s rambler, and cabin, an early 1900s-built split-log that needed a good deal of "TLC" when they bought it back in 1995.

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. Mike graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, MN, with a bachelor’s degree in Russian Studies. Several years after graduating, he met his wife Kerri, also a “Gustie,” and helped put her through law school. They have two children and a plethora of animals (including dogs, cats, lizards, and backyard chickens) with whom they share their 1.5 story south Minneapolis home. When he has time, Mike enjoys long bike rides on his vintage chrome Schwinn Paramount, a good book, building amazing Halloween decorations (just ask), scuba diving, being a builder/hacker, and, recently, learning how to work with hot molten glass.
