Longtime friends Andrew Fisher and Jason O&rsquo;Neill are teaming up in business, expanding Mosquito Joe in Atlanta. In April, Fisher and O&rsquo;Neill will open doors to <a href="http://mosquitojoefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchisee-spotlight-andrew-fisher-of-mosquito-joe-11038" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mosquito Joe</a> serving East Atlanta.

Fisher has been looking into business ownership opportunities for a decade. The Army veteran wanted to invest in a business concept that gave back to his community and was closely tied to the military community. With <a href="http://mosquitojoe.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchisee-spotlight-andrew-fisher-of-mosquito-joe-11038" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mosquito Joe</a> being ranked as a top franchise for veterans and Atlanta one of the worst communities for mosquitoes in the country, the business was a natural fit for Fisher.

Longtime friend Jason O&rsquo;Neill has moved to Atlanta to join the team as Fisher&rsquo;s operations manager.

What were you doing before partnering with Mosquito Joe? 
Andrew: I am originally from Texas and earned my bachelor&rsquo;s degree in management from Texas A&amp;M. I also served in the Army for four years. I worked for nearly 20 years in retail loss prevention for various large brands. My wife and I moved to Atlanta about ten years ago for my job in retail loss prevention with Nieman Marcus. About four years ago I left Nieman Marcus for a position at Gap and have been doing that up until recently, when I left my job to focus on business ownership full-time.

Jason: I am also originally from Texas and also graduated from Texas A&amp;M, though with my bachelor&rsquo;s degree in psychology, which is where I met Andrew&rsquo;s wife, and we&rsquo;ve all been friends since. I have been doing communications consulting for the past decade, mainly with nonprofits, and I&rsquo;m also a life and wellness coach. I am new to living in Atlanta, moving here to join Andrew&rsquo;s Mosquito Joe team, though I&rsquo;ve been visiting Atlanta for over a decade, usually multiple times a year, to see family and friends.

How did you learn about Mosquito Joe, and what made you ultimately decide to commit? 
Andrew: I&rsquo;ve been looking for an entrepreneurial opportunity for 10 years, it&rsquo;s something I&rsquo;ve always wanted to do. I&rsquo;ve researched every available resource for information on business ownership opportunities and that&rsquo;s how I found franchising. I thought franchising would be a great fit to get into business ownership, but with a proven model and existing business plan.

I narrowed my options down to franchise concepts and began searching major business publications for franchise brands that were growing quickly and were rated as being very veteran-friendly.&nbsp;Atlanta is consistently one of the worst mosquito cities in the country and the younger generation puts a high value on experiences. We&rsquo;re excited to rid residents yards of pests so they can enjoy outdoor experiences with family and friends. We haven&rsquo;t had Zika cases that have originated here yet, but West Nile and other mosquito-borne diseases have always been a concern in this area.

What&rsquo;s next for you and your business? Do you have any development/expansion plans? 
We are planning expansion and to purchase additional territories. The goal is to purchase a second territory in the area in the summer and a third in the fall.

As we expand and grow, we&rsquo;re also focused on hiring other vets and teachers during their off months.
