Hal Humphreys

Moderator

Appraiser eLearning Partner Hal Humphreys grew up measuring houses in West TN with his appraiser dad. Boy scouting taught him to never be lost. "I'm not lost. I'm in the U.S.," he says, if unable to pin down a more specific location. Those skills of navigation and evasion are useful in his parallel work as a private investigator. He has twice navigated across Spain on the 500-mile Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. Humphreys is a lifelong learner and educator. He is a practicing Certified Fraud Examiner and professional investigator. Hal is a CDEI certified instructor through IDECC. He writes, lectures, and he walks ... a lot.
