A lot of people ask me "Are you the father or are you the son? So what is the story behind the 'father and son' name anyway?"

Well, it all happened like this: Back in 2003 my son Buddy was 13 years old. We were homeschooling him as we have done with our 4 other children.

Buddy is very bright and intelligent but languished in book work. Learning new things was no problem but he just was not geared to do seat work. To accommodate this learning style I thought it would be a good idea to pass on to him the business knowledge I had gained over the past 15 years by building, running and then selling my own pest control business. At the same time I could incorporate math, science, history and other subjects into the days activities. Buddy was enthused about the idea and our business was born!

Buddy in Afghanistan January 2011In January of 2009 Buddy decided to serve our country in the U.S. Army. I am very proud of him and I know the experience he gained while we were working together will be with him for a long time. My two younger sons Charlie and Judah are waiting their turn to participate in the family business once they get a little older. Until then I like to think of the young men who work with me as "substitute sons".
