Truly Nolen Pest Control, based in Tuscon, Ariz., promoted Dan Rhodes to people development division support specialist.

“Dan’s ability to teach others, maintain consistency while multi-tasking, and provide team members with assistance as needed made him a natural choice for his new position,” said Justin Wichman, people development manager. “I know he will continue to assist team members any way he can, and I am glad he is on our team.”

Rhodes joined Truly Nolen in March 2014 as a swing technician, primarily focusing on termite and rodent work.

His new responsibilities include helping the people development division on the administrative side, continuing to develop team members in the field, continuing to teach many of the company’s basic and advanced training classes and adding Pathway to Leadership programming to his array of teaching.

“I am most excited about the opportunity to help teach and train all of our partners across the country and help guide them on their way to being successful,” said Rhodes. “My favorite thing about working for Truly Nolen is knowing we create new positions all the time so I never feel like I have to settle into any one particular role and stay motivated learning all aspects of the business as I never know where I might end up with the company in the future.”

Truly Nolen also promoted Jesse Gouchie to operations manager of the company’s service office in East Tucson, Ariz.

“Jesse’s nearly two decades of managerial experience and success in the retail industry along with his ability to develop other team members made him the perfect choice for his new position,” said Desi Rodriguez, Truly Nolen’s senior district manager for Tucson and Southern Arizona. “I know he will do a terrific job helping our East Tucson team members reach new heights and I am glad he is a member of our team.”

Gouchie joined Truly Nolen in January 2024 as a manager-in-training. His new responsibilities include helping the service office continue to maintain visibility with the local East Tucson community and working to instill the company’s core values throughout his team.

“I am most excited about helping develop team members that win together and grow as a team. Building and developing successful teams has always been a passion of mine,” said Gouchie. “My favorite thing about working for Truly Nolen is every day is different and every customer is different. I enjoy problem solving and building solutions that help make our customers happy.”
