Dirk Lewis is the mosquito guy. He fell into the field while searching for a summer job in high school. A quarter century later he’s moved up the ranks, taken over the company and moved it to Rossland. He’s now putting his own spin on the company expanding it’s capabilities and markets with the addition of some innovative new technology.

This episode is a beautiful example of how to take a traditional business or service business and up your game with technology while opening up new markets and moving up the value chain.

Turn a semi-random summer job into a lifelong career doing something you love, buy the company, take control and chart a new and innovative course forward, all while living the dream lifestyle in small town BC? You Can Do That Here!
