Roland is a founding Partner and an Inspector with Pelorus Inspection & Environmental Resource Group. Roland has been providing residential and commercial inspections in the Atlanta-Metro area for more than 15 years and has conducted as many as 10,000 inspections. His experience and success is built on the belief that each property is unique and, whether within or outside the Atlanta-Metro area, Roland welcomes the opportunity to assist his clients in better understanding the property they are purchasing.

Roland's goal is to empower property buyers by sharing his knowledge and expertise in buildings, systems, and construction /environmental science. In addition to being a Certified Member of the American Society of Home Inspectors, Roland has extensive experience as a designer, custom home builder and renovator. He is also certified through Pro Lab as a mold inspector and is qualified to provide a range of environmental testing, including radon gas, lead, and asbestos.

Prior to co-founding Pelorus, Roland was integral in the growth, development and sale of another well-known, local inspection firm.

In addition to his passion for training new inspectors for success in the industry, Roland also has a strong foundation in technology and automation. For his previous firm, he was the first to identify the need for online/website based scheduling, setting a new standard for the inspection industry in the region. In combination with his breadth of expertise and experience, Roland’s light hearted and non-alarmist approach provides clients with both a deep sense of comfort as well as the knowledge necessary to make well-informed decisions.

Originally from the Big Sky Country of Montana, Roland enjoys backpacking, fly fishing and the search for great local cuisine. However, when given the option, he will always choose a campfire with good friends and family.

Adam is a founding Partner and an Inspector with Pelorus Inspection and Environmental Resource Group. Adam has spent years cultivating his knowledge of building sciences since transitioning from over a decade in Organizational Development and Corporate Senior Management. In his previous role, Adam specialized in developing and delivering technical training where he went on to ultimately lead the technical training function. With this experience underpinning his building knowledge, Adam has a unique talent for delivering complex concepts in a clear and easily understandable way.

Out of a desire for a change in lifestyle and experience, Adam left the corporate world to pursue his interest in carpentry. With this decision, he spent two years working in a custom cabinetry and furniture building workshop.

To obtain his Journeyman Carpenter status, he completed over 6000 hands-on hours in construction and related systems as well as more than 400 hours of classroom instruction culminating in testing and certification. Adam spent the next several years in high-end residential construction with an emphasis on remodeling and custom carpentry.

Recognizing a need to incorporate clear, effective communications into Property Inspections, Adam saw an opportunity to blend the culmination of his experiences with a passion for the building sciences. While he believes that all properties carry some level of imperfection, the art of effectively evaluating a property lies in understanding those imperfections and recommending appropriate courses of action. Adam approaches this work with a positive, informative approach that considers all the positives as well as the imperfections, challenges and opportunities for improvement. He views his role as one of consulting with his clients to help them make informed decisions rather than passing judgement on a property.
