John Schwencke – Chief Home Inspector
John Schwencke is the owner and lead inspector of Porch Light Home Inspection. John got his start in the industry doing remodeling and restoration, a line of work that shaped his vast knowledge of building science. John later led a career for a contracting firm that specialized in home performance and energy efficiency, a precursor for Porch Light Home Inspection’s choice to offer Home Energy Scoring as an additional inspection service.
Based on his prior experience, home inspection was a perfect fit for John—and he loves overcoming new challenges every day in order to help his clients maximize their knowledge of the home they intend to sell or purchase.
John graduated from Florida State University with a degree in Business and Finance, and now resides in Bend, OR with his wife Shelley and their two daughters, Mirren and Saxen. When he’s not inspecting homes, he loves to coach soccer and stay fit.
