Chris Simpson
OCHI #2121 · Pest License AG-1050197CPA · Certified Radon Measurement Specialist
I was born and raised here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I'm a husband and father of four with two grandchildren. When I'm not busy crawling under homes you can usually find me in the outdoors somewhere or salmon fishing on the Columbia River in my family's restored 1957 P-14.
The inspections industry was the most logical next step for me to "Evolve" to after years in the building trades. I love meeting new people and lending my expertise to help you make the most informed decision.
"Bringing the builder to your inspection" is not only my slogan — it's peace of mind.
