I started in mosquito control as a seasonal employee at Adams County Mosquito Control (ACMC) in 2003, just after finishing high school.  I only intended it to be a summer job during college, but obviously it became much more than that.  I received a BA in History in 2009 from Brigham Young University and taught high school history for 8 years at Othello High School, while working for ACMC during the summers.  I enjoyed teaching a lot, but knew that if an opportunity presented itself in mosquito control, I would go for it.  The longtime former manager and my mosquito killing mentor, Tom Haworth, retired and I was fortunate enough to get hired for his position beginning in June of 2017.  I love the job and feel very fortunate to be in this position.  My wife, Molly, and I have 4 children and are very happy and content to be in Othello.  I enjoy watching and participating in sports, coaching basketball and tennis at our local high school, and spending time with Molly and our kids.
