The Long View: Book One of the Disclosure Trilogy

A signal appeared in Earth's data streams.

It wasn't a greeting.

It wasn't a warning.

It was an equation.

Scientists soon discover the signal describes technologies capable of stabilizing an entire planet—but only if humanity can overcome its own political divisions before it is too late.

As governments race to understand the transmission, another truth emerges.

Earth was never the destination.

It was the newest civilization invited to join something much larger.

The Long View is a thoughtful science fiction novel grounded in engineering, politics, and humanity's first encounter with an intelligence far older than our own.

Behind the Writing

My novels begin the same way every construction project does—with observation, careful planning, and respect for the details. Decades spent building, inspecting, and teaching have shaped how I approach every story.

Rethinking Construction Education

Artificial intelligence has changed what students can produce—but not what they need to understand.

This book examines why construction education must return to judgment-centered learning in an AI-assisted world.

You'll discover:

• Why traditional assessment is becoming obsolete

• What should replace it

• How educators can prepare students for professional practice

Technical Collection

Solving for Shelter

A builder's perspective on America's housing challenge.

The affordable housing crisis cannot be solved by policy alone. It requires better building systems, stronger partnerships, and a willingness to rethink how we deliver housing.

Drawing on nearly three decades of experience as a builder, educator, and industry leader, Solving for Shelter examines the real-world obstacles limiting affordability—from labor shortages and outdated construction methods to fragmented collaboration between builders, educators, nonprofits, and local governments.

Rather than simply identifying problems, this book offers practical ideas and proven strategies for building more attainable, durable, and sustainable housing.

You'll discover:

• Why housing affordability is fundamentally a construction problem—not just an economic one

• How innovation, education, and collaboration can reduce costs while improving quality

• Practical ideas that builders, educators, nonprofits, and community leaders can implement today

Home Inspections 101

Learn to see a home the way professionals do.

A home inspection is far more than walking through a house with a checklist. It requires understanding how every structural, mechanical, and environmental system works together to create a safe, durable home.

Written from years of field experience inspecting hundreds of residential properties, Home Inspections 101 explains the purpose of a professional inspection while helping buyers, sellers, real estate professionals, and aspiring inspectors recognize the issues that matter most.

Whether you're purchasing your first home or considering a career in home inspection, this book provides a practical foundation built on real-world experience.

You'll discover:

• How professional home inspectors evaluate residential properties

• The most common issues found during home inspections—and why they matter

• How to better understand inspection reports and make informed decisions

Launch, Grow, and Make Money!

Build more than an inspection business—build a successful company.

Starting a home inspection business requires far more than technical knowledge. Success depends on marketing, customer service, business systems, and the ability to consistently earn trust.

Based on the lessons learned while building a home inspection company from the ground up, Launch, Grow, and Make Money! provides practical guidance for turning professional expertise into a profitable business. From finding your first clients to developing repeatable operating systems, the book focuses on the challenges every new inspection business faces.

Whether you're just getting started or looking to grow, this guide offers insights drawn from experience—not theory.

You'll discover:

• How to launch a home inspection business with confidence

• Marketing strategies that consistently generate new clients

• The business systems needed to build long-term profitability
