You mean....heaps of ridicule, contempt and scorn?

At least on a good day.

Nick Gromicko
Founder of The National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI) (http://nachi.org/forum/)

Nick Gromicko is an activist for the inspection industry and a speaker at dozens of inspection events every year. After three years of military training in the 1980's Nick accepted a position as a Research Analyst for the University of Pittsburgh's Nuclear Physics Department. Four years later he left to form several multi-inspector firms, eight environmental companies, and two laboratories. As a REALTOR with RE/MAX, Nick was one of the country's first agents to work solely with buyers. In 1990 he founded NACHI which grew into the world's largest inspection trade association, host to nearly 500 events a year, with a 205,000-page, 100 million+ hit per year main site, over 4,000 websites, and a nearly 300,000-post, free speech message board. In the mid 1990's he sat on the Board of one of the largest public sewer authorities in the country and was President of Northtowne Custom Homes. Nick owns a New York ad agency, a Wyoming mining company and an off-road accessory manufacturing company. He is author of two books and dozens of inspection-related articles. He helped start a school for children, a free health clinic, a food bank, and the Master Inspector Certification Board which administers the inspection industry's Certified Master Inspector professional designation and where he volunteers as its Director. He is also a board member of REALmatcher, Inc., Reports, Inc., the Florida Association of Professional Home Inspectors, and the International Society of Home Inspectors. Nick lives near the continental divide in Nederland, Colorado, population 1,394 at what he calls "the top of the world."

Back when I asked if anyone knew Nick's history, why didn't somebody post this, instead of burning me at the stake?

I stumbled across the NACHI web site in Dec. of 2002. Nick signed me up on 12/20/2002 as a member the day I past the exam and met the other qualifications.

Alright, all you old farts, ha. ha. I guess I am tailing and won't get a pin this Year, shocks.

Oh, did I fail to tell you all that My Committee has come up with a pin design and cost?

Sorry.

It is great.

I have submitted to Nick this afternoon with a price on quantity, but have not yet heard.

I believe everyone will be happy with it except me, I got to wait another year.

So let us get after Nick.

Hi Marcel, I'm back after a somewhat hiatus.

Trying to ease back into the NACHI scene again.

Hey, wondering if you let everything go and left the Country on that bike of lyours. ha. ha.

Welcome back.

Well, it appears you got a lot of reading to do in order to get to speed. ha. ha.

[Peter C. Russell]

Not really Marcel, from what I see this place is like a soap opera, you can tune out for a couple of months, come back and thing are still the same.

Can't disagree with you on that one Peter.

How is Allen?
