Neil began his career in the construction field at the age of 16 when his father secured a job for him on a commercial construction site. He continued working in construction for the next 20 years, taking time to get a B.S. in Forestry from the University of Minnesota.

After taking many building code classes and securing his professional certifications, Neil began his career in home inspections in 1990. In 1997, Neil purchased Structure Tech, and since then has developed an organization that is well respected by the real estate and home inspection community.

Besides his love of work, Neil spends time with his wife and four grown children whenever possible. He also enjoys weekends at the cabin fishing, water skiing, jet boating, hiking, 4-wheeling, and cross country skiing.

Reuben is a second generation home inspector with a passion for his work.  He grew up remodeling homes and learning about carpentry since he was old enough to hold a hammer.  Reuben has worked for Structure Tech since it was purchased by Neil in 1997.

Reuben’s favorite customers are the ones who have a lot of questions; he grew up thinking he was going to be a school teacher because he enjoyed teaching others so much.  In a sense, that’s a lot of what home inspections are about, so Reuben truly does what he loves.

Reuben has an A.A. degree in liberal arts and has attended most of the Building Inspection Technology classes at North Hennepin Community College.

Reuben is the proud father of two young childen, Cy Alexander and Lucy Nicole, and also has a German Shepherd named Stanley. With two young children Reuben doesn’t have much free time, but he still tries to play disc golf as often as possible during the summer.

Reuben lives in Maple Grove, MN.

Duane Erickson

In 1974, Duane and his father built his first house, using permits and inspections. He did all of the work at the house except for the exterior grading. He found out that a good way to learn is to have the local building inspector tell you it’s not right!

Duane lives in Delano, and has become a living legend in the western suburbs of the Twin Cities. If you’re buying a big house in the western suburbs and you don’t want any surprises, you call Duane. Duane has been inspecting full time with Structure Tech since 1996, and has earned himself a devout following of real estate agents and clients. We get a lot of calls from customers that remember Duane from their first home inspection in the ’90s, and they want to make sure he’s still around to do the inspection on their next house!

When not inspecting houses, Duane enjoys camping, hunting, fishing, and 4-wheeling with family.

Duane lives in Delano, MN.

Milind has worked in the home improvement industry for almost 20 years. A background working with some of the largest names in the home improvement industry built a strong base for Milind as a home inspector.

Milind believes that education, experience, a “nose” for the unusual, and understanding that building sciences are constantly evolving are the keys to a quality inspection.

When not inspecting houses or working on his own house, Milind spends his free time at the archery range, biking, golfing and skiing.

Milind lives in Bloomington, MN with his lovely wife, dog, and cat.  They’re probably working on a remodeling project at his 1965 rambler as you read this.
