One might think that the No. 1 question in my business would be "How much do you charge?" or "How long will the inspection take?" or "If this was your home, would you still buy it?". But it still amazes me that what interest people the most is "What does LOX mean?". After many table top discussions amongst the family to brainstorm for a company name, LOX won by a majority vote every time. How I became a Home Inspector has been a grooming process ever since I was a little kid. I would follow my father around from house to house, helping out the locals in my hometown, as we pulled wire, re-roofed homes, and fixed plumbing issues. Well as I got older I began to realize that all of my contracting, constructing, and inspecting has been based on Living Off Experience. But then one might notice that LOX is not three initials separated by periods. And so just when you think you have it figured out, the name LOX comes from a combination of my daughter Logan, whom we call Lolo, and my son Mattox, whom we call Ox. The true result of living off experience resides in the combination of my children's names....LOX.
