President/CEO
Marc founded Metro East Home Inspection in August 2006. His vision to provide the premier inspection experience based on honesty and integrity has guided the company’s growth from a one-man operation to the largest and most qualified home inspection service in the Metro East area.
In January 2007 Marc was the first inspector to include a free termite inspection with all home inspections. Soon other companies followed suit. Through the years many of the company’s competitors have attempted to mimicked Metro East’s operating model, signifying Marc’s impact on the local home inspection market. As Marc has said many times “The best compliment you can receive is to be imitated by your peers”. In 2008 radon measurement was added to the list of quality services provided by the young company. 2015 was a busy year, the company added mold/indoor air quality testing to it’s expanding menu of services. Later that same year, Metro East Home Inspection added video inspection of sewer laterals and septic systems making the company the first and only full service inspection company utilizing their own employees rather than sub-contractors.

Travis originally pursued this line of work with Metro East as a way to make more money for his growing family. It didn’t take long to realize that this was the job for him. The idea of not settling into a boring nine to five type job has always appealed to him. Travis finds that meeting new people and never knowing exactly what to expect from house to house is exciting. As a home owner himself, he realizes the important job a home inspector has in helping first time buyers to investors purchasing a home. As a father of three and husband he knows the importance of buying the right home to serve our clients and their families. Everyone has their dream home and he's proud to be part of helping you obtain it.
