Meet Nick Gromicko | Founder of InterNACHI

We had the good fortune of connecting with Nick Gromicko and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nick, how do you think about risk?
I love risk. I love risk because the profits that come from taking risks far outweigh the costs of managing that risk.

What should our readers know about your business?
I’m a high school drop out. Back then, in the 70s, K-Mart used to sell an entire above-ground pool kit including pump and filter for $129. I started selling them installed for $399 or $499 financed (pay me a little whenever you can). I could install 3 myself on a weekend. 4 if I hired my teachers to help. My teachers were off in the summer and so I hired some of them. Once I installed one in a large plan of middle-class homes, every family in the plan ordered one from me..

I made so much money that I bought a new car with cash. My parents saw the new car and asked me how much I was making installing pools on the weekend. I told them. And by the expressions they had on their faces, I knew right then and there what I had to do. The next day I dropped out of school.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Well of course I would take them to the InterNACHI House of Horrors®. The House of Horrors® is a 2-story home built inside 3-story building. The home is built all wrong, with thousands of defects. Inspectors from around the world come to train on it.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
