My path to pest control wasn’t typical. I spent years working as a CNA, providing care in nursing homes and in-home support for adults with disabilities. It was deeply meaningful work, but physically and emotionally exhausting. I started looking for something different—something that could offer stability, challenge, and purpose. I didn’t have any formal qualifications, but I applied to Sunrise Pest Management, a company I hold in the highest regard. To my surprise, I got the job. What started as a bit of a fluke turned into a life-defining opportunity.

I trained on the job while studying for the state exams, barely passing my first time through. I wasn’t great at it—at least not right away. But persistence is the sister of excellence. One is a matter of quality, the other of time. And in this field, it’s often said that it takes three years to truly season a technician. I leaned in, asked questions, paid attention, and never gave up. Eventually, I earned additional licenses and took on training responsibilities, and over time developed my own approach to the work.

The Boone Method isn’t just a service—it’s a system of understanding. It’s built on the principle that pest control isn’t about domination, it’s about stewardship. Our work affects the people, animals, and ecosystems around us. I don’t believe in shortcuts or compromising the integrity of the work just to save time or money. Whether it’s a rodent exclusion or a chemical treatment, I approach every job with intention, legality, and a long-term view. My job isn’t just to solve a problem today—it’s to make sure we aren’t creating a bigger one for tomorrow.

When someone hires Boone Method, I want them to walk away feeling informed and confident—not just in the service, but in the reasons behind every decision. This isn’t my world—it’s our children’s. I take my role seriously, and I’m here to do the job right, every time.
