[Nick Gromicko]

I accept the nomination for the next President of the Colorado NACHI Chapter.

Having been a full-time home inspector within the State of Colorado since 1998, I thoroughly enjoy this occupation. Over the years, I have mentored many individuals in this exciting profession and it has always been exciting for me to see each the achievement of others in this business.


My career began in construction several years ago – I built my first house in 1983 and have been involved in construction and building maintenance ever since. I am an ITA graduate and have approximately 4,000+ inspections performed. This is not to say that I have seen everything - I am still learning to do this job better - as each of you knows, each structure, each component and each client is different and thus, the never-ending complexities of our jobs unfold day by day. I continue to do 2 – 3 inspections a day, while writing my first book on Inspections and also helping out the NACHI head office in the coordination of Inspection Training Events around the country. In May, 2006, I was asked to be the International Educational Events Director for NACHI. We are starting with our first Seminar, here in Denver, on June 21st, 2006 – full details can be found at www.NACHICertifiedTraining.com.


NACHI, in my opinion, is the one home inspector association which can be defined as “cutting-edge, think-outside-the-box and growth-oriented”. It is an organization where they literally have the ability to put wheels under your thoughts, beliefs and dreams. For at least a year, I have wanted to become involved with the local NACHI organizations in some sort of a leadership position. Thanks to fellow inspectors like you, a few weeks ago, I was nominated for the Presidency of the Colorado State Chapter of NACHI – it was quite an honor and I thank each one of you who made it happen.


If elected, I promise to put a very high priority on leadership, education and Industry awareness. The results of great leadership are growth and Chapter effectiveness. The results of great education are self-confidence and success in business. The result of market awareness is growth in our current market share due to increased visibility to Realtors, Builders and other industry-related professionals – which means more business for everyone.


I am very committed to this organization and have a driving desire to fuel its continued success into the next election period and beyond. I am grateful to the present leadership and understand that it is up to this next leadership team to carry their work forward. I want to personally thank Phil Gage, our current President, for his guidance and current leadership.


Thank you in advance for your vote. I will not let you down. Communication is a key priority to all business success and I look forward to keeping the doors of communication open at all times. Your ideas, thoughts, passions and dreams are important to me and as a result of my leadership and the leadership of others at the State level; we want to work with you to make you and our Chapter more successful.


Thank you for your time and consideration.

Congrats Tom. You look like a newbie to me.

Jim Michael
1st Choice Home Inspections

"I accept the nomination for the next Vice President of Colorado NACHI.

I am a retired military officer that fully understands the necessity to develop strong teams and tight knit groups. I was appointed to the rank
of Warrant Officer in the Army, which means that I worked my way up from the bottom, starting as Private. I progressed through the ranks with
honors and by my eighth year, I was selected by the Secretary of the Army to become a Warrant Officer. Less than ½ of 1% of the people in the US
Army become "Ground Warrant Officers".

I had the honor of graduating every military class with honors, and being trained with the best systems and structure now built into every aspect
of my life, including what I have brought to the private businesses I have worked for and to my own company, (1st Choice Home Inspections).

Upon retirement in 1997 I worked for some general construction companies as VP and Operations Manager for two separate companies. I also was the
Operations Director for a manufacturing company in Denver. And finally as the General Manager for COIT Cleaning and Restoration Company. (I have a
lot of experience on mold, mitigation, and procedures thanks to this company).

I was brought into the companies to build their business by growth measures and to establish systems that improved the bottom line for each
company. I was completely successful with each company!

I finally decided to build my own business in January 2005; I figured that sailing my own boat (even a small one), beats sitting at the helm of
someone else's large ship. So, 1st Choice Home Inspections came into fruition.

I am committed to being a productive member of NACHI by providing the guidance, business experience, and technical ability needed by our
members. The structure I possess will assist this organization to better manage meetings, training topics, and grow our membership.

I will proudly and honorably accept the Vice President position for Colorado NACHI when elected."
