Josh
Certified Professional Inspector
We first tried to hire Josh 3 1/2 years before he came on board, in May of 2016 when Roy inspected his home (which looks a LOT different now thanks to a lot of elbow grease).
Josh has an extensive background in the trades and is a pleasure to be around. Prior to joining our team, Josh was in a leadership role in the maintenance department for a local airport, and has worked as a handyman, an auto mechanic, and in commercial HVAC. He's a cheerful soul, and it's infectious.
In his spare time, Josh enjoys working on/ restoring antique Volkswagens! Josh lives in Iowa City with his wife Audrey, 2 kids, and various project vehicles.
Kielan
Certified Professional Inspector
Kielan has an extensive background in construction, getting his start in skilled trades working alongside his dad through highschool in the family's remodeling and renovation company in the Omaha Metro.
In college, Kielan worked closely with the Habitat for Humanity program in Sioux City to call awareness to slum living conditions, homelessness, and community outreach and development within residential housing. Kielan has a heart for making sure people have a safe place to live.
After college, Kielan exceled in management roles in the restaurant industry, but ultimately felt drawn back to building and construction, this time on the commercial side.
Home Inspection was the natural next-step in Kielan's career given his personable demeanor, great communication skills, and construction knowledge. Kielan was excited to join the Vigilant team when we acquired the home inspection company he was previously employed by, and we're blessed to have him on the team!
Kielan lives in Des Moines with his wife Nancy and their two kids.
Daniel Kromminga
Certified Professional Inspector
Daniel came to join our team thanks to the recruiting efforts of his brother (Inspector Josh). His background includes residential remodeling, aircraft mechanic, and telecommunications (splicing fiber optic cable).
Daniel is used to a career that demands accuracy and attention to detail. He now brings those same core competencies that kept pilots and passengers safe, to his home inspection career. Daniel is a fun guy to work with and talk to; he smiles a lot, and also makes sure his clients understand what's a big deal (and what isn't).
Daniel lives near Cedar Rapids with his wife and kids.
