Frank started SWAT 38 years ago with the idea of creating a pest control company like no other. He knows that there are many options for people to choose from, and he wants SWAT to stand apart. He has done that by creating a company that focuses on building a relationship with it’s customers so that when a homeowner calls SWAT they know they are getting what they are paying for. They should have a company they can trust at their home. Through the years the company has expanded to do more than termite and pest control. We have also added full Home Repairs and Wildlife Divisions. We want to be that complete home services company for our customers; from plumbing to roofing, and any other home needs, we can do it all. Customers know when they call us they are getting the SWAT Guarantee behind any of the work completed for their home. We are not finished with any job no matter how big or small until the customer is completely happy.

Frank is a graduate of Southern Polytechnic State University and holds a DCO certification with the Georgia State Department of Agriculture. He began working at the age of 10, running a paper route, and has not slowed down since. At 80 most people are looking forward to retirement, but Frank is still involved in the day-to-day operations at SWAT. He is always available should a homeowner have any questions and is usually the first to arrive and the last to leave the office each day. He has been married to Nancy for 57 years and they have one daughter and two grandchildren.
