Veteran Spotlight-Michael Brewer
Service has always been an important part of who I am. During my 23 years in the United States Air Force, I learned the value of leadership, teamwork, and taking care of those around you. Those lessons have stayed with me throughout my career and continue to guide me today.
 
Since joining Orkin nearly nine years ago, I have had the opportunity to grow through several roles, including OrkinPro Residential, OrkinPro Commercial, Commercial Sales, Branch Manager, and now Region Sales Manager. Each position has reinforced the importance of continuous learning, supporting others, and embracing new challenges. One of the things I appreciate most about Mission First is the opportunity to connect with fellow veterans, military families, and supporters across our organization. By sharing our experiences and supporting one another, we continue to build a strong community that honors service, encourages growth, and helps develop future leaders. Thank you for all that you do and for being part of the Mission First family.
