Sprague Pest promotes new operations manager for Spokane branch

Seattle, Wash.-based Sprague Pest Solutions has promoted Jessie Peltier, ACE to the role of Operations Manager at the Spokane, Wash., branch.

Peltier joined Sprague in 2020, taking on key leadership roles within the Spokane branch, including Branch Trainer and Safety Captain. He also serves on Sprague’s newly formed Belonging Committee, dedicated to fostering a culture of inclusivity and belonging across the organization. Consistently demonstrating exceptional technical expertise, Peltier has earned top quality assurance rankings and achieved his Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE) credential in July 2025. He also holds AIB Food Safety and OSHA 10 certifications, underscoring his strong commitment to safety and professional excellence.

Before joining Sprague, Peltier retired from the U.S. Navy after 20 years of service, followed by two additional years of service as a civilian-contracted pharmacist. Seeking a new challenge, he entered the pest management industry in 2016, working as a residential technician before joining Sprague.

Jeremy Lesser, Sprague district manager, said in a release, “Jessie has been the kind of person who lifts up the people around him. Before stepping into his new role, he was already coaching his team members, sharing knowledge and helping our team succeed. His motivation to grow is exactly what will make him successful.”

As Operations Manager, Peltier will oversee branch performance, team development and client partnerships across Eastern Washington and Northwestern Montana. His focus will continue to be on delivering uncompromising service and fostering a culture of safety, quality and belonging.
