I am Darrel Creacy, the owner and Chief Inspector of AMVET Inspections, I am also a Native Houstonian. In 1985 I enlisted in the United States Coast Guard, served our Great Country for 20 years then retired as an officer, Rescue Helicopter Pilot and Aeronautical Engineer. I have a B.S. Degree in Aeronautics from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University my minor is in aviation safety. I also hold licenses as an FAA Aircraft Mechanic, FCC Radio Operator, Airline Transport Pilot and Certified Flight Instructor. I have worked as a corporate helicopter pilot and worked as a Life Flight Pilot for 7 years from 2009 to 2016.   My back ground in construction comes from my father who was a bricklayer for more than 50 years. During my formidable years I spent all my summers and many weekends on construction sites working in the Texas elements. My father and I have built homes from the ground up physically putting them together ourselves. During my Coast Guard career, I held positions twice as a Facilities Manager. In late 2002 I had decided I would retire from the Military in 2005, so I went back to school and fulfilled the required education to satisfy the State of Texas to become an inspector.
