Hadyn RICHARDSON
Service Technician
I am from Texas; I moved to Vermont in 2020. I still am not used to the cold winters, and so far,
do not enjoy them. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports like football, baseball and golf. I also
enjoy fishing when the weather is nice. I started working at PestPro in 2025 and one of the best
parts of my job is being outside often and assisting customers with their needs. A great bonus
was being able to save money and buy myself a new truck.
