TUCSON, Ariz. – Truly Nolen Pest Control recently promoted Verne Keller to commercial district manager for Florida. When not in the field, Keller will be based at the company’s Orlando, Fla., service office.
Keller joined the company in March 2023 as a manager-in-training, and has been in the pest control industry for 33 years.
