About
Every job Kyle's had came down to teaching people what he knows.
Air Force logistics across three tours. Nine years on a prison hostage rescue team — most of it spent training others. A construction career built from the ground up. Home inspection isn't a career change; it's the same job with a flashlight.

U.S. Air Force, three tours
Kyle served in Air Force logistics — moving people, cargo, and every vehicle in between across three deployments. Logistics is where you learn that details aren't optional: one missed item on a checklist and things stop moving. That discipline never left.
Fourteen years in corrections, nine on the hostage rescue team
After the Air Force, Kyle spent fourteen years working in a prison — nine of them on the institution's hostage rescue team, where he also served as team armorer (and assistant armorer for the institution). But most of his time went to teaching: he was the institution's instructor for firearms, first aid & CPR, self-defense, and verbal de-escalation, and served as union president and employees association vice president along the way. Staying calm under pressure and explaining complicated things clearly became second nature.
From side jobs to general contractor
During the prison years, Kyle started doing construction on the side — and it grew into a full-time Pennsylvania contracting business (PA HIC #172974, still active). The range runs from concrete countertops, full bathroom remodels, Trex decks, and siding and stone veneer to excavation, land clearing, and home additions taken from foundation to roof as general contractor. The proof-of-work highlight: an off-grid cabin he built entirely by himself, ground to roof, that now operates as a 5-star Airbnb and small event venue — one of two 5-star rental properties he and his wife still run today.
Why inspections
When Kyle moved to South Central Kentucky, he chose inspections deliberately: after years as an instructor, educating people about the biggest purchase of their lives was the natural next classroom. It's why every Peirson report gets talked through instead of just emailed, why walkthrough follow-ups are offered, and why Peirson HomeCare exists — teaching homeowners their own houses, one visit at a time.
