About Me - The Story Behind Ho Ho Handyman
Hello Neighbors, I'm Ward, the heart and hammer behind Ho Ho Handyman Services. My path to founding this business isn't just about trying to make a couple of bucks; it’s about returning to my roots, dedicated to building a community-focused service founded on expert craftsmanship.
For over 20 years, I've mastered the skills to be a master handyman. What you may not know is that I am also a skydiving instructor of 23 years when not working the trades. While amassing 17,000 skydives, a few world championships, and several world records, I’ve acquired the qualities of being very precise and methodical, which is crucial in skydiving—excellent traits that translate well to the quality and precision I bring to all my projects big or small.
A lot of people think handymen are just jack-of-all-trades but masters of none — not here. I’m nationally and state certified as a Certified Professional Inspector® (CPI) through the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors. I’ve completed over 20 professional certifications and logged 764 continuing education credit hours covering everything from structural issues and electrical systems to HVAC and moisture intrusion — and that list keeps growing as I continue to add more certifications. That means I know exactly what I’m looking at, what’s wrong, and how to fix it the right way. You can check out my full list of certifications and training on my Ho Ho Home Inspection page.
I'm an adventurous soul who loves to bring my outgoing personality and excitement to anyone I meet and into everything I do. I look forward to sharing this side of me with you, my neighbors and friends.
I've poured my true motivations for starting Ho Ho into a heartfelt letter to you.
