Our Great City

Paul and Karen Britvich moved to Keller 3 ½ years ago from Oak Forest, IL – a southwest suburb of Chicago. Relatives/friends introduced them several years before they started dating and after five years of casual conversations, they finally went out on their first date. They have been married for eight years and are the proud parents of daughter, Ellie.

Paul was raised on the south side of Chicago where he attended St. Rita Catholic High School. His family moved to Oak Forest when Paul was 15-years old where he finished out his high school years at Marist Catholic High School and went on to graduate as an Evan Scholar at Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI. After college, Paul joined FFE Transportation in Bridgeview, IL and has been with the company for 31 years. In 2005, Paul was promoted to Director of LTL Operations, which prompted the move to North Texas as FFE’s corporate offices are in Dallas. In 2007, Paul was again promoted to Director of Cargo Claims and Loss Prevention for FFE. Paul co-owned harness racing horses for many years and now enjoys golf and fishing.

Happy Holidays from your (hopefully your favorite :->) home inspector! Some people think of Christmas trees, sugar plums and reindeer at this time of year. I think about outlets and wiring! When I see houses decorated with Christmas lights at this time of year, and when I put up my own, it brings to mind something I always check for when doing a home inspection, the availability, serviceability and suitability of outlets, both outdoor and indoor.

It's been said that the holidays are the time when most of us become nostalgic for a time long-past in our lives that never actually existed. It's so very easy to idealize those old days, especially when no one else can testify to the veracity of your own memories. Ahh, yes, the cider was sweeter, the fire warmer, and the people filled with more goodwill.
