Kristen earned a Bachelors of Art in Communication with a minor in Creative Writing from Rowan University; she spent a few years in the mortgage industry. There, she was highly acknowledged as the leader among her peers. Kristen’s attention to detail and creativeness led her to create standard work for other offices to emulate.

She left the structured work environment as Tim departed for his first deployment; this enabled her to raise their two children. Macy (age 8) is currently in second grade and Evan is a curious one-year old. Kristen is eager to put her talents and people skills back to work with Mosquito Joe and will be handling the day-to-day of the business while Tim will be handling the financials and administration.

Tim heard about the brand through a friend. He aligns with the company’s mission and is very happy with level of support the company provides to its franchisees.

The couple is planning to hire two to four employees for this location. They’ve signed on for three territories and are planning to open one territory each year.
