Hello.  My name is Ben Gromicko.  I am a husband to the most beautiful woman in the world, a father of three amazing daughters, an artist of large acrylic paintings and a photographer, author of numerous books and articles, and author of The King's Guide.  

I barely graduated high school, because I hung out with my brother and nuclear engineer graduates at the University of Pittsburgh and built thousands of radon gas tests in charcoal canisters. In my twenties, I performed thousands of radon tests and installed hundreds of radon mitigation systems in Pennsylvania. I was a home builder and built three beautiful homes and one barn. I was a backhoe operator for a few years and dug foundations, sewer lines, buried horses, and built a massive wall made of 1/2-ton boulders that I placed with the hoe bucket. I owned and operated a successful home inspection company near Philadelphia for 13 years and performed over 10,000 home inspections. In 2001, I married the most beautiful woman in the world, and we have three amazing daughters. In 2007, I became the Director of Education at InterNACHI, the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, the world's leading organization of home inspectors founded by my brother Nick. I've written over a dozen textbooks, many technical guides and inspection-related articles. My best book is a home maintenance book, "Now That You've Had a Home Inspection." I write The King's Guide for men. My wife writes The Queen's Guide for women.
