Nearly 25 years ago, Alex dove into the pest management industry and hasn’t looked back since. Determined to elevate the industry through his work and stewardship, Alex has pursued continuing education, serving on industry committees focused on best practices and the future, and helping other professionals through teaching, writing and speaking opportunities.
Alex finds working in the field to be both exciting and rewarding, making him a perfect fit for the hands-on approach of the Liphatech team. From helping restaurant owners gain control of Norway rats entering via broken sewer laterals under their historic buildings to eradicating rodents in multi-unit residential storage facilities, Alex cut his rodent management teeth in the Midwest and understands the attributes of the region well.
Through his career experiences as a technician, manager, field trainer and serving in multiple compliance and technical roles, Alex has developed a proven track record of making “impossible” problems disappear, fostering trusting relationships with customers and providing expertise where it is needed.
When Alex is not working with customers or solving a challenging rodent or insect issue, he enjoys spending time vacationing with his wife and four children. He also enjoys hunting, fishing or creating various woodworking projects – many of which provide utility in his home.
