Inspector's Background and CertificationsShannon is the only full time inspector for Rainbow Home Inspections and doesn't have any ties to contractors, mortgage lenders, or real estate agents or brokers, because that would be a conflict of interest and violation of the code of ethics set forth in the American Society of Home Inspectors standards. While growing up in north Alabama Shannon assisted his grandfather who had a small contracting business that built custom homes. Due to the quality of the construction many of these homes are still structurally sound today. Shannon spent 13 1/2 years with Lamont Doherty Geological Observatory of Columbia University as a technician and research engineer building structures for seismic sites in 54 countries around the world. During the last three years with Lamont, construction took place in Alaska, Chiang Mai Thailand, Charter Towers Australia, Elat Israel, Kongsberg Norway, and New York State. Shannon has successfully completed the following certification programs. |
