Let's Meet Our Family

DARLA
Hi everyone, I’m Darla, though most know me as “Mama Oz.” A decade ago, we started this adventure with a hope that it would grow into something meaningful, but I could never have imagined just how far we’d come. Every year, we set new goals, break records, and continue to grow as one of the leaders in pest control across Wisconsin. Although I’m technically retired, keeping track of my boys has become more of a full-time job than I ever expected!

Ten years later, I’m still here, watching our family grow, helping everyone live their dreams both at work and beyond. I’m incredibly proud of the team we’ve built—truly the best around. We’ve turned a dream into reality by delivering top-tier pest control services while always putting our customers first.

CRAIG
I have over 20 years of experience in management and 10 years dedicated to running operations. I have helped play a key role in shaping our family-owned pest control company into a trusted name in the industry. We pride ourselves on not only delivering effective pest control solutions but also on fostering a workplace culture that values and empowers our exceptional team of employees.

Our commitment to high standards, customer satisfaction, and innovation drives us to provide top-tier services, ensuring homes and businesses are protected with care and expertise. With our team, I can confidently say we are a true family!

CORY
I’ve been in the pest control industry for 10 years, and I’m proud to say every one of them has been with 1st Choice Pest Control. I was one of the originals here with Darla, doing everything from the ground up—handling sales and running routes at the same time. Together, with guidance from Craig and Darla, we kept this train moving forward. Over time, I’ve transitioned into my true passion.

Leading the sales side of the business, I take great pride in educating customers and helping them start their journey to a pest-free environment. Now that we’ve built a full team to keep things on track, I get to enjoy a little more time on my boat, in my camper, and with my family.

ANDREW
I've been in the pest control industry for nearly a decade now, with over 3 years here at 1st Choice Pest Control. Like many, I started at the bottom and worked my way up. I went from knowing nothing about pest control to becoming one of the youngest master technicians in the state at the time. Over the years, I’ve earned my place as a leader in both the industry and among our outstanding crew.

Pest control is an industry that hooks you, always presenting new challenges and opportunities to learn and teach (though I’m keeping some tricks to myself 😊). Outside of work, you’ll find me on the softball fields in the summer and at the bowling alley in the winter. If you look closely, you might even spot me in the USBC Hall of Fame!

JUSTIN
I’ve been in the pest control industry for 102 months (8 ½ years), with 4 of those years at 1st Choice Pest Control. The best part of my job is the incredible people I get to meet—from new friends in my neighborhood to political figures, and even quite a few Green Bay Packers. GO PACK GO! I’ve had many proud moments in this industry, but one that stands out was eradicating a severe bed bug infestation at a nursing home where multiple other companies had failed.

Seeing the residents finally able to sleep comfortably made that day, and my career, worth it. Fun fact: I once got to hold 4 gold medals, and let me tell you, they’re even more amazing than you can imagine!

BRENT
I have been in the pest control industry for 13 years and with 1st Choice Pest Control for over 2 years now. I wake up every morning eager to see what awaits me. I enjoy meeting everyone and getting to know their stories and their lives.

The ability to help make their lives better is what drives me to be the best that I can be. Outside of work you will catch me enjoying God’s creation with my family.

DYLAN
I have been in the Pest Control Industry for 4 and a half years now and with 1st Choice Pest Control for 2 of them. I go to work every day with the best attitude and biggest smile knowing that I get to make someone’s life happier today. I truly enjoy interacting with all my customers and ensuring they have a pest-free home. The best part of my daily job is getting to see every backroad and lake that Wisconsin has to offer.

The views and joys of outdoor life gets me out of bed every day. As soon as my work day is over, you’ll catch me outside flying my RC planes and make videos for everyone to see the same beauty I get to see every day.

MARK
I have been in the pest control industry since 2021 and with 1st Choice Pest Control for 2 years now. While I may be on the newer side of things, I have been able to build a knowledge base that far exceeds what I ever thought imaginable. I strive to make sure that everybody I meet and service is comfortable in their own home. Seeing the relief of knowing they are protected; is a feeling everyone should get to enjoy. I was made for this job.

I don’t have to sit in an office, I don’t have to punch a clock, it is just me, my customers, and the open road. There is never one job alike and I get to learn new things every single day. When I am not out there grinding, you can catch me at home with the family following the Brewers and Packers.

BRANDON
I have been in the pest control industry for just 2 years. In those two years, I have grown to love this industry more than I ever thought. Not many jobs give you the satisfaction of comforting people everyday. Whether it is keeping children safe from stings, or getting rid of unwanted guests after a long vacation, it makes me tick. Although I may do the same type of work every day, the people are always different. I enjoy learning with customers while we grow to build a pest-free environment.

After a long day of work, it is even better that I get to come home to my 4 cats. While the cats are great, nothing compares to the off road 4-wheeling with the pals and all the good things nature offers.

WILLIAM
I have been in the pest control industry since 2022 and this is my first full year with 1st Choice Pest Control. Don’t let my time in the industry fool you. I am one of less than 200 master technicians in all of Wisconsin. I fell in love with the industry and have been giving it all since I started. The best part of what I do is having to think uniquely through every situation. Not one single job is the same. There is a brand-new puzzle piece at each stop I go to. The best part yet, is that it is a puzzle that will never fully be solved.

There will always be something fresh and new. What no one realizes, is that secretly I must wash the green off my thumb every day. I spend a lot of time tending to my garden and growing everything from just a seed, just like I did in pest control.

DESMOND
I've been in the pest control industry for a little over three years, and this is my first full year with 1st Choice Pest Control. What drew me to this line of work is the freedom it offers and the fact that there’s never a one-size-fits-all solution. Every situation is unique, and I love being able to offer tailored, quality services to my customers. It's incredibly rewarding to help others live pest-free, knowing I’m making a difference.

Beyond work, one of the most important aspects of my life is spending time with my nephew. Whether we’re reading together or just hanging out, it’s moments like these that truly help me grow as a person. Every day spent with him makes me a better man, and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.

STEFANIE
I have only been in pest control for 3 months. So, I am the newbie of the group. However, it didn’t take me long to fall in love with it. Customer service is my specialty, and I love getting you to laugh and smile. I will be with you for all of your concerns and all of your triumphs.

I look forward to continuing to expand my knowledge and understanding of the industry while I help you take back your home from pesky bugs. When I’m not brightening everyone else’s day, I am goofing with Derpster (my dog) and taking trips to my second home in Tennessee.
