ick then we would have been without him.
Sorry Roy, this is not about any of that. Just a simple question, do you believe Nick when he tells you something? not necessarily anything to do with the industry, just in general, does that guy tell the truth or not?
Nothing “sinister” about it. I can tell you that I do not think the guy is completely honest at all. That’s my opinion some may and some may not, just asking those that are not afraid to speak the truth or just don’t want to. For those people, there is no reason to even post in this thread.
If you look back on this message board, you can find dozens of my posts that were not believable at the time they were made. Some of them were so ridiculous when I posted them, that they are outright laughable. I didn’t even believe them. Examples include:

If you are looking for statements I’ve made over the years that lack all credibility… you’ll find them here. Some, like the examples aforementioned, were totally absurd and not believable.

Of course, eventually, they all became true.
That was worthless. But bringing The Ultimate Inspection Vehicle to the Vegas Convention made up for it. That was a total hit. Below are a couple PICs of it with Paige at the Vegas event. Anyway, that was a crazy one: “We’re going to hand-build an inspection vehicle equipped with computers, inspection software, IR cameras and Spectoscopes, cover it with sponsors from the inspection industry, haul it all the way to the Vegas Inspection Convention, and have a model stand by it and hand out our literature.” Unbelievable.
Come to think of it… that was a lie I told. She is a friend of mine. Her real name isn’t Paige Peters. I made that name up for her. I hired her when she was young and I was worried the attention from hosting our www.NACHI.TV show could possibly attract a weirdo or a stalker. So I gave her a new name so that nobody could find her address or anything. Her real name isn’t Paige Peters. I admit, I lied about that.
She got so used to being “Paige Peters” at work (even many InterNACHI staffers didn’t know her real name) and got so used to signing her name “Paige Peters” at InterNACHI and at events, that she would sometimes accidentally sign her personal checks using the name I made up for her.
