Truly Nolen Pest Control recently announced the promotion of Michael Smith to manager of the company’s Sierra Vista (Ariz.) service office.
Smith joined Truly Nolen in October 2022 as a sales coordinator, quickly excelling in that role and then entered the company’s manager-in-training Program in December 2024, where he showed a strong commitment to personal growth and a genuine passion for helping others succeed.
Prior to joining Truly Nolen, Smith was the facility director for a local automotive group for 13 ½ years, and spent five years in the pest control industry before that. He holds a Teacher Education Degree from the University of Oklahoma. Smith’s new responsibilities include helping the service office gain more visibility with the local Sierra Vista community and instilling the company’s core values throughout his team.
Smith said, in a release, “I am most excited about helping build our team into a family and helping make each of them successful in their roles. My favorite thing about working for Truly Nolen is helping people solve their pest problems. And helping others within our company when they have questions for me.”
Desi Rodriguez, Truly Nolen senior area manager of Southern Ariz. and Calif., said, “Michael’s efforts in fostering community involvement, through events and outreach initiatives, reflect his dedication to building meaningful connections both inside and outside our company. These qualities, along with his proven leadership abilities made him the perfect choice to lead our Sierra Vista team to new heights.”
