Jose is a longtime member of the Urban Desert Team and friend of the family. At 16-years-old he started working for us as a babysitter. We can attest that he is patient as the day is long. Jose will impress you with his knowledge, cheerful countenance and winning smile. Also, he is a HUGE Raiders fan! Please do what you can to overlook this flaw. (Go Cowboys!)

Jeff is another one of our Urban Desert family sets. Jeff married his high school sweetheart and their oldest daughter, Kayla, works with us in the office. Jeff is one of the best gems in the industry.  We’ve had several customers express their admiration of Jeff’s thorough work and he has quite a fan base. Another fact about Jeff, he loves football. Although this also his major flaw, his favorite team is the Washington Redskins. Of course, we’re doing our best to help him get better, notice whose team colors he wears to work ;-)

Dax is an important part of our UDP termite crew. He is the 2nd son to owner Brad and within a minute of meeting him, you won’t doubt it! A chip off the old block, Dax is a natural people person and has the superpower of making people from all walks of life feel happy and at ease. He has a very big heart and is well known for his random acts of kindness. Every day he shows he really cares about this company and its customers as he consistently makes the effort to go above and beyond what people expect.

Tino was Born & raised in a small town in southern New Mexico. He has been in the pest control industry for over 7 years and knows the importance of doing things correctly the first time. He is a father of 2 little boys who inspire and motivate him to be the hard working perfectionist that he is. Tino is easy to spot in a crowd as the “tall cowboy with the big buckle. Notice how much he looks like Woody, the main character from Toy Story.

Trista is wife, bookkeeper, marketing coordinator, business consultant, personal assistant and answering service to Brad (UDP owner). She also heads up the UDP tech support division which mainly consists of turning on and off technology devices when they don’t work properly and then getting credit when it works. Her favorite part of the job is finding fun ways to post on Social Media and playing with photo editing apps. When she is not working, or taking care of her family she enjoys nerding out with a good sudoku puzzle or documentary.

One thing we can assure all of our customers is that when Gina Valenzuela is on the job, the job is done quickly and it’s done right! When Gina is not running the office she continues to be amazing on campus as a college honors student studying Human Resources. Gina has a long history working in the pest control industry and does not like bugs! She understands the urgency of getting the technicians out ASAP to get your home protected. Gina’s favorite thing to do when she is not at work or school is to spend time with her amazing little girl!

Valeri is what we in the biz refer to as “a great catch”. A college grad, with many talents, we are lucky to Have her on our team. Valeri came to Phoenix about a decade ago after enduring “enough midwestern winters to last a lifetime!” She must still have a little Minnesota ice left in her veins as she is one of the only people, perhaps in the universe, who claims no fear of scorpions. When Valeri isn’t crunching numbers at UDP she can be found hiking with her family or enjoying one of her favorite TV shows.

Emily became part of our wonderful UDP team at the Arrowhead Mall. Yep, that’s not a typo, we first met her at the food court in the mall! We knew right away, amidst the fast food and chaos, that she was a keeper. She is currently our Jedi master of scheduling and is on the front lines of making sure no customer is left behind. If you’ve had the pleasure of talking with Emily you know that her quick wit and charm make her fun to chat with and a big asset to our company. Emily was born and raised in Phoenix and loves being with her family and her dog Sophia.

Kayla is our newest Urban Desert Pest Control acquisition. We were lucky enough to steal her from a management position at Cyclebar to be our office sales guru. You’ll never have a negative experience with Kayla. She is always happy and helpful. She has even been able to have fun while dealing with our demon-possessed office printer (Patent pending on her printer dance). Her favorite things, besides work at UDP, are her fiancé Jynx, her dog Marin, a good work out and vacations to Rocky Point. Side note, she has been a licensed hairstylist for 5 years so if you need any hairdo tips while talking pest control, she is your go to!

Brad is known for his quick wit, positive nature and thorough knowledge of two major subjects: pest control & football (Go Cowboys!). Brad and his wife, Trista, have five kids so he understands every dollar counts. Your home and family are his top priority.

Jeremy’s career started in television, and you can see that he’s a natural on the news! Jeremy finds great joy in getting to know people. He shows his appreciation for each of our customers by focusing on superior service and getting results. He loves the AZ heat (yes, he actually said this) and is in awe by all the beauty the Phoenix Valley has to offer.
