He was formerly a principal member on the technical committee for Electrical

has authored dozens of magazine articles and books. He has served as an expert
witness in cases involving contractor and inspector standard of care, building
codes, and construction defects, and been certified as an expert in Superior
Courts in several counties. He provides seminars around the country to
inspectors, building departments, and electricians on building and electrical
codes, construction defects, and inspection techniques. Skip Walker is a certified residential combination inspector, with a particular interest in smoke alarm performance issues and deck safety. Paddy Morrissey, former senior illustrator of CornerHardware.com, has been the sole illustrator for the Code Check series since its inception.
