What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on field roles assessing roof damage and supporting claims teams, with opportunities to train others and grow technical expertise in drone and steep-roof operations.

I am an experienced roof inspector with hands-on expertise in wind and hail damage assessment, drone inspections, and steep-roof assist operations. I have worked high-volume catastrophic claims for major insurance clients, producing detailed diagrams, photo packages, and measurements while coordinating with homeowners and contractors.

I hold Parts 107, rope and harness, and Xactimate certifications and have trained other inspectors while traveling extensively to support large-scale assignments. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and timely, high-quality documentation to elevate client service and drive accurate claims outcomes.
