# The Herald-Palladium: St. Joseph Native Finds Great Fit With The Cleaning Authority

**TL;DR:** Dave Morrissett took over ownership of The Cleaning Authority in January 2017, finding a good fit with the franchise due to his prior experience in the industry. Morrissett, a Saint Joseph native, previously worked as a banker and entrepreneur before returning to St. Joseph and seeking a business to own.

## Story

Saint Joseph native Dave Morrissett took over ownership of The Cleaning Authority serving the area in early January 2017.

With former experience in the franchise industry, Morrissett thought The Cleaning Authority would be a good fit for him professionally.

“I figured a franchise was the way to go since I’ve had success with it in the past,” Morrissett told the Herald-Palladium.

Prior to taking over The Cleaning Authority, Morrissett was a banker and previously worked as an entrepreneur in Atlanta. He said it was hard to go back to working for somebody else and knew he wanted to own his own business when he moved back to St. Joseph two years ago.

“You want to find something that will match your skill sets, something that would meet the hours you want to meet,” said Morrissett.
