John has been an InterNACHI member for nearly 20 years. Throughout that time, Nick Gromicko has consistently asked a simple question: “What do you need, and how can I help?”
With that support, John has remained deeply committed to giving back to the industry—through teaching, advising, and advocating. As the original author of InterNACHI’s wind mitigation course, a daily (and sometimes hourly) advisor to the My Safe Florida Home Program, and now the lead author of the newly updated wind mitigation class, John continues to serve as a trusted industry expert.
With the new wind mitigation form going live today, it’s especially meaningful to reflect on how deeply John and I have been involved in its evolution—from participating in workshops in Tallahassee, to advocating for long-overdue updates, to working alongside our lobbyist, Jennifer Ashton, to support legislative improvements to roof-to-wall connections, and to advancing training efforts for inspectors across Florida.
Today was a particularly rewarding moment. We were invited to attend the National Hurricane Conference on behalf of InterNACHI®, where John spoke on a panel focused on building codes and residential resilience.
I think we all make a pretty damn good team.
After John finished his panel a gentleman from the NorthEast asked if he could come to New Jersey and speak about the same topic… although we are pretty sure it is a ploy to suspend his NJ drivers license again ![]()
IYKYK anyhow..
I’m pretty proud of this guy.
and am thankful for our partnership with the world’s largest association of home inspectors. ![]()
