Deep down, I consider myself an Idaho farm boy and I love being an Idahoan. I owe my dedication to family and hard work to my years on the family farm here in Idaho. My beautiful wife Amber and our five children love everything about our life here and don’t ever plan on leaving. Our small business career started with two TCBY Franchises in Utah in 1996 and then led to opening 2 Jamba Juice Franchises in Idaho in 1998. In 2003, it was on to opening a marketing company and multiple telemarketing call centers in Boise and Eastern Idaho and shortly after that, starting Guardian Inspection Payments with our friends and partners, Aaron and Caroll Fuhriman. We have grown Guardian Inspection Payments from a credit card processing company to what is now a company focused on all aspects of payment facilitation including Credit Cards, ACH and Pay at Close funding options. We have made many wonderful connections while focusing entirely on the home inspection industry that is full of so many good people.

I graduated from Boise State University in 2001 (Go Broncos!) with an education degree and taught high school for four years before starting Guardian with Ben Tolman. Although I loved teaching, when I saw the opportunity to start and run my own business, I jumped on it and have been grateful ever since. My wife, Caroll, has an MBA and is a CPA, but gave up corporate life after having our third child. Together, with Ben and Amber, we have truly loved watching our business grow and develop. We feel grateful for the opportunities and blessings being owners of Guardian has brought into our lives.

Your Time Home Inspections was established in 2015. For this first two years my husband worked the company full time while I worked at Frost Bank.  His first two years he hustled, doing his own marketing by baking and dropping off cookies at real estate offices , answering calls, booking the jobs  and preforming the inspections! In 2015 we preformed 55 home inspections, year 2017 we did 192. In 2018 we joined MIC Mastermind Inspection Community with Mike Crow that same year I left my job of 24 years and joined forces with my husband full time. It was sink or swim for both of us! No turning back the job security was gone, the family insurance was gone. We were determined to make this work! So I hit the ground running by marketing our company by hitting more real estate office’s , presentations, Sponsorships, applying the “ Big Bank Marketing” , attending Networking events you name it I was there!!!  Year 2018 we hit 307 inspections and have been  climbing in an upward position  498,678,1016 and as of this year so far we are projected to hit our Goal of 1200 inspections with a Gross Revenue of half a million Dollars!

I grew up in construction remodeling houses, building houses. I have been a roofer and have done commercial concrete, machinist, and worked in the tool & die industry. A few things that no one but my family knows about me are; I build materials for Kelly Aviation that have gone into space, custom made adapters for rescue divers and built water fountains for Disney World in Japan. But neither of these had been my calling until My wife and I purchased our home in 2014. We hired a home inspector paid him $285 for forty minutes of his time, as I followed him I realized that I could do everything he had done? So in 2015 I took a leap of faith and thus began Your Time Home Inspections. For the first two years I baked cookies, visited Real Estate Offices, booked jobs and preformed the home inspections. In 2018 my amazing wife Elvia left her banking job of 24 years and hit the ground running with Marketing, booking jobs! As of today we have Four amazing Home Inspectors plus myself, full time Branding Specialist, contact call center, an amazing VA. We have also just opened up our own Pest Control Company called “ Times Up Pest Control “. The Sky is truly the limit and we are ready for it
