Chris,
I am sorry about that logo and it has been corrected. My apology still stands to all the members of NACBI.
I don’t know if you’ve been keeping up with Mr. Anderson’s personal vendetta against me but that was the ONE thing he was in-fact correct on out of his countless attempts to try and find some form of fault against me. I thought the NACBI logo was the InterNachi commercial building inspectors logo and it was an honest to god mistake of misunderstanding.
Once completing and mailing off all the requirements for the InterNachi COMMSEC association I added the NACBI logo to my websites and InterNachi signature. I can assure you I wouldn’t have purposely added the NACBI emblem to my InterNachi signature to be viewed by numerous NACBI members while not being a member.
Mr. Anderson contacted the owner of NACBI vs. being a friend so he could purposely and publicly post how I was soon to be served for copyright fraud or whatever it is while making it out like there were numerous cases coming down against me when it was in-fact one single logo misunderstanding.
After the misunderstanding was brought to my attention, I offered a public apology to all of the NACBI members and immediately removed every emblem except it appears I overlooked the 1 that you found which has now been removed. I also responded to the owner of NACBI explaining my fault and misunderstanding while admitting that I had the logo posted for almost a month before realizing it. I explained the situation in-depth and offered to pay $75-$100 or whatever the founder of NACBI deemed fair in compensation for my mis-understanding and a months use of the emblem.
I have no problems admitting my faults when they are wrong or taking responsibility for my actions even when they are not intentional. This is what I’ve been trying to explain to Mr. Anderson. If he finds some form of fault with me or if anyone does for that matter than I have no problems correcting any areas where I’m in the wrong. I actually appreciate the heads-up so I can in-fact correct something if I’m in the wrong. I’m not out to try and cheat, mislead, harm, or not provide the best service I possibly can to anyone. I’ve only tried to help others to the best of my ability.
There’s yet to be another InterNachi member contact me for anything where I haven’t tried my absolute best to help them in every way possible.
I spend EVERY single extra dime I make on training, memberships, leraning opportunities, equipment and Certifications vs. toys, vacations, luxuries, etc… I’ve done my honest to god best at trying to get the best training available to learn this industry to the best of my ability. Every step further I take seems to bring more resistance and resentfulness towards me. I’m supposedly moving to fast and trying to acquire TOO MUCH training. Why is it that someone using every resource available to them to obtain more training, certifications, learning opportunities, etc… are gaining more resentment than the folks out there providing all these services with no certifications or training or “merit badges” as Mr. Anderson says?
I once again apologize for that last logo being left on 1 of the 5 websites. It’s been removed and updated.
I’m not understanding your comment about me being denied membership to the NACBI? Please explain? I’ve never applied nor attempted to become a member of NACBI much less been denied membership. I introduced myself and very briefly spoke with Mr. Duffy at the IR/INFO conference about being interested in the association. I think it’s a respectful association that I do hope to someday become affiliated with it. Dwelltek Energy Solutions, my partner, and I had discussions of moving forward with trying to become involved with the association but due to the recent attacks on me by Mr. Anderson I explained to the founder that my interests would be best laid to rest for a while.
There has never been any form of a denial of membership against me. I was simply asked to remove the NACBI emblem until I was actually a member and had the rightful usage of it.
