Hi, I'm Rob.
My Minnesotan wife managed to convince me to move from the San Francisco Bay area to Minnesota (after visiting the state in the winter). Oddly enough, I am the person who wants to go outside when it’s cold. I have lived in Maryland, Germany (I am, “the Berlin Wall was still up” old), Georgia, California, and finally Minnesota.
I had taught elementary school for 10 years (mostly first grade), and I had just finished the electrician program at Dakota tech, when I found myself in a perfect situation. I could combine teaching and the trades by being a home inspector. I had an opportunity to learn from an experienced and highly ethical home inspector (Joe, who literally no one has anything bad to say about). I started studying, passed the National Home inspectors Exam and bought Paladin Inspection.
I plan on treating my clients the way I treated the parents at my school. When parents had questions about how to help their child learn to read, I would explain what they could do and answer any questions they might have. Now I get to help prospective homeowners understand owning and maintaining a home and answer any questions they might have.
While I do own Paladin, Joe will be at the inspections to help in any way needed, but eventually he will stop being involved in the company and enjoy a much-deserved retirement.

Why the name "Paladin?"
The name “Paladin” comes from a science fiction movie Joe Lundequam, Paladin’s founder, had watched in 2007 with his son.
In the movie, there was a character with a special power. He was surprised when his mom tried to stop him and said, “I didn’t know you were a Paladin!” Joe looked up the word and discovered a Paladin is a class of knight whose job is to protect the residents of the castle.
Joe had decided “Lundequam Home Inspection” was too hard to say and Paladin seemed an appropriate name for a home inspection company. Thus, “Paladin Inspections” was born.

"Joe gave a very thorough inspection on the property he was hired for. I was impressed with not only the extent of his findings, but also the report he created following our appointment. His attention to detail is top notch. He is very prompt, flexible, and easy to work with."
