Tom Wyka, TREC 4584 dba Homeworks Inspections
Tom has been an independent home inspector since he retired from the FAA in 1999.  He has conducted over 2500 inspections.  He enjoys helping seasoned citizens and first time home buyers.  Tom served in the US Navy where he acted as an air intercept controller.  He was very amused when the FAA called him and offered him a job after he let the Navy.  As he tells it, he was more familiar with running planes into each other, not keeping them separated.  Thankfully he made the conversion and worked his way up to running the Houston Sector.  More than anything, this experience has given Tom outstanding diplomatic skills and a wry sense of humor.
