Eric Van De Ven was born in 1960 in Broward County. After finishing schooling, elementary, junior high, high school, Eric began work  at "Chicken Unlimited", a fast food restaurant.

After a year at that job, Eric then went to work for Publix Supermarkets. During his time there, Eric worked in all phases of store operations. Ordering, stocking etc.

While employed at Publix, Eric also was working as a mechanic at Hollywood Hills Gulf, now a Shell station. At some point in time, Eric's career a Publix was terminated and so it was a full time job at the gas station.

The service station was sold and new people were brought in. At this time, Eric was hired at A-Plus Automotive. A high performance shop specializing in high performance modifications specifically for 1/4 mile drag racing applications.

After two years, Eric moved on to a job with Wintex corporation. This job entailed performing all types of construction related work. From electrical wiring, to drywall hanging, Wintex and Eric did it all.

In 1989, Eric went to work for a home inspection company, who at this time, shall remain nameless for reasons that will become clear in a future rant. After a year there, Eric was terminated and went to work for Prevent Services , a pest control company.The job description entailed all forms of pest control. From ants to roaches and fleas to rats. This also included performing WDO (wood destroying organism) inspections. Eric also received training  and actual work experience with treatment methods for both Drywood and Subterranean termites.

After three years with Prevent Services, it was time to move up. Eric went to work for another home inspection company, for approximately one year. This was part of a plan to re-enter the home inspection industry.

After termination, Eric started Magnum Inspections Inc. After working for two "suspect" inspection companies, Eric had learned what not to do. The goal was and still is to perform the best inspection possible.

To achieve this goal, Eric joined associations, got continuing education in all aspects of home inspection and went to seminars put on by National Home Inspection Organizations throughout the United States.

Magnum Inspections Inc. guarantees all Clients the best possible inspection. If they are not happy with their inspection, their money will be refunded, no questions asked. This has never happened in the 14 years Magnum Inspections Inc. has been in business.
