Dad taught me everything. Growing up I was a shy kid.

Dad thought it would help if he took me to work with him I might come out of my shell a little bit.

It worked.

I would ride in the truck and watch him work for hours and never get bored. No matter who he was talking to or how bad the problem was he always remained calm, cool, and collected.

One day Dad asked me to go out with him to a house I’ll never forget. It was infested with bed bugs so bad I didn’t know how the family could live there.

It turns out they didn’t have a choice. They had nowhere to go and very little money. What they needed was some help, some real help.

By this point, Dad was letting me do more than just watch. Sometimes he let me spray and other times I’d set traps. But at this house, I had no idea what to do and I didn’t think Dad did either.

But he did know. Slowly he worked room by room with the patience of a saint. He did most of the work that day and it seemed like we were in that house forever. By the time we left, it was dark out.

When we went back the next day to check on things the family was grinning from ear to ear. They couldn’t stop thanking us and I knew at that moment I wanted to help people the same way.

Eventually, Dad hired me and I worked with him for 10 years before I set out on my own. I live in this community, I work in this community. I know this community.

I don’t have a bunch of TV commercials or fancy vans but I get the job done and customers keep asking me to come back and that’s enough for me.

If you don’t want the missed appointments, broken promises, and ridiculous bills that come with some of these big companies I can help. 

The good news is that we’re growing. I’d put my service and results up against anybody working in this area. I do work that Dad would be proud of and I think that’s as good as it gets.

If your home or business has a problem with bugs, pests, or whatever, I’d be happy to help.

Sincerely,

    I’ve lived and served this community for the last three years and I’m proud to say that. No matter what the problem is at your home or business I can help.

    Give a local business the gift of the spotlight. Let us know what sets them apart, and we just might feature them in our next edition.

    questions
    & answers

    How do you make your final selections?

    We interview each business owner. We take into account how long they’ve been in business, how much experience they have, what sets them apart, and what customers are saying.

    Can we nominate a business again if they don’t get selected the first time?

    Yes. We keep track of all nominations, but we get so many that there just isn’t a way to feature everyone. If a business gets multiple nominations, we’ll certainly take notice and give them proper consideration.

    We were featured. How can we get a hard copy?

    Just ask. We can send you a beautiful framed copy of your feature that you’d be proud to hang on any wall. Fill out the form above or send an email to

    What if a business is really small?

    Size doesn’t matter here. Quality is what we’re after. We’re looking for exceptional businesses that go above and beyond serving their community, regardless of their size.

    Can we nominate a startup?

    Yes, but it will be tough to get featured. Our judges prefer to see some experience and a proven track record before being recognized
