my erin is now newspaper famous. erin & her father were featured in a series of business articles on dads handing over their businesses to their children. it seems that there are not too many dads handing over their businesses to their daughters (or so it seems from erin's interactions with the reporter) it's almost a guy thing. that is kinda sad, but it allows for erin & fam their unique relationship to be showcased.
i don't know if many of you know, but we are a bug family, all american pest control was started in the 60's by erin's granddad, her dad has ground it out over the years into a super quality business in what is not always the most professional of fields. i was actually recommended to them when i bought my first home, about two years before erin & i started dating.. now, i am atleast trained to spray homes. i'd have to get involed a bit more to do anything more technical.
anyhow, she's the planner as her dad is too, so they have begun this process of working out the biz & our eventual purchase of it. me, i'm the cheerleader persona (i guess).. many concepts are still foreign to me, but i can nod and smile. &:~) we have talked of my involvement in the future years as our family and the business grows.. we shall see how all that turns out
they are both super folks (erin obviously i am biased, as is all of erin's family) so i am happy to see them get some good exposure for their unique relationship and well grounded business. if you have a pest problem and live in the middle tennessee i'd highly suggest you give erin or her dad a call at all american pest control.
