Meet the Owners

I’m a lifelong South Dakotan and U.S. Navy veteran, and this business is deeply personal to me. I care about this community because it’s home. My goal is simple—to help families actually enjoy their backyards again without constantly swatting mosquitoes or worrying about pests.

Karen plays a huge role behind the scenes. She brings a steady voice, great instincts, and helps keep everything grounded as we grow. This isn’t just a business for us—it’s something we’re building together, rooted in our family values and our commitment to doing things the right way.

I grew up in Parkston, South Dakota, where my parents ran an agricultural business, so I learned early what hard work and taking care of people really means. Before attending South Dakota State University (where I met Karen), I spent five years serving in the U.S. Navy as a Seabee. That experience shaped how I approach everything today—show up, do quality work, and stand behind it.

Today, after 25+ years of marriage, we’re proud to call Sioux Falls and Tea home. We love the people here and the strong sense of community that makes the Sioux Empire such a great place to live and raise a family.

Our Mission

We started Mosquito Hunters of Sioux Empire to build something that truly serves our community.

As a veteran- and family-owned business, we’re committed to delivering reliable, high-quality mosquito and pest control services that give you your outdoor space back. No shortcuts. No gimmicks. Just consistent, dependable service you can trust.

Because at the end of the day, this isn’t just about pest control—it’s about helping you enjoy your home.
