Meet a Joe: Mike Briggs
*Occasionally we like to provide a blog post that will help you get to know Joe. From our technicians to our office staff – we think our company is full of people you ought to know! *
This week we’d like to introduce you to a member of our staff, Mike! As a full-time technician for Mosquito Joe of North Atlanta, he dedicates himself to making outside fun again for others. We are so excited to have Mike as part of the MoJo family!
Here are some fun facts about Mike, so you can get to know her like we have!
Q: What is your favorite part about your position?
My favorite part would have to be the driving aspect of it. There’s a lot I enjoy about my job, but I love being able to ride around the city and find places that I didn’t even know were so close to me. This has allowed me to discover multiple parks and hiking trails, some of which are now my dog’s favorite places to go.
Q: What led you to work for Mosquito Joe?
My cousin, Mark, had been working for Jack and Marcela and said it was a great place to work. I happened to be looking for a second job at the time, so I joined as a seasonal technician. After working with them for a few months, I enjoyed it so much that I transitioned into a full-time technician.
Q: If you could explain your job to a five-year-old, how would you describe it?
Basically, I keep mosquitoes out of the yard so that when you go outside and play, nobody will get itchy bug bites.
Q: What is your favorite Mosquito Joe tagline and why?
In my opinion, the best tagline is “Did you mean to donate blood on the way to the mailbox?”. It raises awareness to donate blood, but also that you can get bitten even if outside for only a few seconds. The other tagline that I enjoy is “Friends don’t let friends get eaten”. I tell all my friends about how great of a service this is, and how much more enjoyable the outdoors have become since I started using the treatment for my own yard.
Q: What is something most people don’t know about you?
My dream is to become a talented drummer. One day, I would love to have a studio in my own home where I could practice playing whenever I want or even have a few friends over to play together and write a few songs. Playing music with friends has had a huge impact on my life. Someday I hope I can inspire others the way that music inspires me.
