What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
I am building a legacy for my family—something lasting that can be passed down and carried on for generations. At the same time, I’m committed to moving away from the misguided treatment that large corporations often show their customers. My mission is to create a business rooted in integrity, service, and respect, where people know they are valued and cared for. -

Set it and forget it. Stay protected, naturally. -
About me
I am a disabled Army veteran with nearly three decades of experience in the Information Technology field—a career that began at just the right time and took me across the globe. My work in both the military and IT gave me the opportunity to live in multiple countries and across several U.S. states before ultimately bringing me to Minnesota in 2006, where I met my wife and planted roots.
Over the years, my career has evolved from being an IT professional to becoming a business owner in the insect control industry. Entrepreneurship has provided me with a path where I can truly excel, combining discipline, problem-solving, and leadership with a customer-focused mission.
What drives me is personal growth, diverse cultural experiences, and forward momentum. For more than 35 years, I’ve lived by a motto that has guided both my life and my work:
“Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.”
I learned this lesson in the Army in 1992—it means you can choose to be a leader, or you can choose to be a follower. But if you refuse to choose, you’re simply in the way. This philosophy continues to shape how I approach challenges, opportunities, and success in both business and life. -

Hobbies and interest
When I'm not working on my latest venture or solving complex problems in IT, you'll likely find me outside — boating, biking, or hitting the gym. I believe in staying active, sharp, and always learning.
I enjoy reading, taking long drives, and exploring new places. Whether it's a spontaneous road trip, international travel, or just a good book that takes me somewhere new, adventure keeps me moving — physically and mentally.
That drive to keep pushing forward isn’t just a lifestyle — it’s part of who I am, both personally and professionally. -
