We had our first Monthly Luncheon of 2019 and started the year off with a bang. 
Our Speaker, former Dallas Cowboys player; John Niland was fun, energetic and engaging. He was a ball of energy that had the crowd laughing, participating and honking like geese! He was certainly a breath of fresh air to get us all into gear with keeping a positive attitude as we start of a new year.

AMBASSADOR SPOTLIGHT
Jeremy Pence

Jeremy Pence is an AMAZING husband to his wife Rogue, and a SUPER father to four children, Zander, Raina, Phoenix, and Noah. Jeremy is proficient in the art of sarcasm and dad jokes. He has a deep connection with the art of karaoke. (Has never gotten any better, but still tries) Jeremy was just an ordinary man when he began working in pest control in 2002.Training under a MASTER Pest Control Professional who cared more about taking care of people and their current problem, than he did anything else. Showed Jeremy first hand that success comes by helping others achieve success. So, after 16+ years on the job Jeremy ... changed. I can't say if it was a spider bite, or maybe just the fumes, but Jeremy began noticing extraordinary abilities! He quickly became THE AMAZING EXTERMINATOR and that's when he decided to embrace his new SuperHero identity, move his family to Texas and open S p i d e r m e n S e r v i c e s ! Protecting homes and businesses from all of their pest control problems, is what makes Jeremy a HERO to ALL citizens. You will feel the connection he has with his customers the minute you meet him. He cares about personal one on one connection and customer service more than anything else. The customer’s needs become his priority. And his quick response and genuine customer care prove this over and over.
