As a Pennsylvania native, I started my career in masonry but after a few years and seeing all of the masons wearing back braces I moved on to become a Plumber. When attending night school for plumbing my instructor would always comment, “Rich why do you always use pen, ughhhhhh”. He was a Steelers fan so what did he know! Looking back, that constant use of a pen might of been an early sign of transition to my inspection career, 18 years and counting working with a Municipality and a Third Party Agency.
I have been fortunate to work in the field and in the book on the smallest of projects up to publicly traded companies. However big or small the project they all deserve the same attention.
