      Julie Tesh-Clark

      Customer Care/Community Outreach

      Julie was born and raised in Greensboro, she moved to Washington DC and then to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she lives with her husband and her family.

      Julie’s husband, Jeremy Clark of Baton Rouge runs his family pest control business, Dugas Pest Control Julie says, “bugs brought us together!” They have two wonderful kids and three amazing Labrador retrievers.

      Julie loves being able to connect with PMi’s customers and help them solve their issues and concerns. She says, “We have established such a strong community presence, and being committed to giving back to our community is vital. This is an amazing part of my job; I am so grateful for the opportunity to work alongside so many great people trying to make a difference and being able to coordinate all of our community outreach. It is amazing to see how much people care and that is why we have started PMi Cares and it will be my honor to run that division for this great company. I also would be re-missed to not include how much I LOVE our team- what I enjoy is being able to travel to our corporate office and be able to learn from our team and make sure we all feel appreciated and valued in our positions. I appreciate each and every one of them and I enjoy the relationships with them.”

      So, for Julie, this is truly a family business. She feels blessed to learn from her Dad, Billy Tesh, and from her Mom, Laurie. She says, “Dad is truly the energizer bunny and it’s so refreshing to see how much he loves what he does, and both my parents do it with such conviction and passion. I love being able to work with them and travel with them.” Anyone that knows Julie also knows that she loves her sweet pups, she enjoys reading books (yes, still hard cover, actual books in hand!) and she loves to walk and exercise daily!

      Julie has worked with so many amazing organizations through PMi and her time as Miss North Carolina International. Habitat for Humanity is very important to PMi, Tropical Jersey Night for Raising Roofs has been a favorite. She does always look forward to Corks for Kids Path, and is very passionate about the Greensboro Science Center! Julie has worked The Oyster Roast, Reelin for Research, Dancing with the Carolina Stars for Operation Smile, and the Kentucky Derby Party for Make A Wish. She has had a hand in working all these amazing events to benefit these organizations- it has been life-changing for Julie to participate in all of them to help raise money or volunteer for such worthy causes.

      Volunteering and helping others are Julie’s passions, she has volunteered over 1000 hours and helped raise millions of dollars for over a dozen organizations. It means so much to her to be able to use her voice to make a difference. She served her state as Miss North Carolina International in 2009 and her platform was live to give and teach others the power they have to make a difference. She says, “I love that I can continue helping others through our company. It’s an incredible feeling!” Other than working for the family business, Julie has worked in the White House, on Capitol Hill, she has owned a dress boutique, is fascinated with the weather channel and can drive a bobcat for PMi’s sister company, Groundworks, if they need an extra set of hands! But she is TERRIFIED of spiders (SHHH don’t tell!)!!

      Quote from Patrick: We have a wide range of people that work at PMi, and I love the day to day interaction with my co-workers. Each of them are wonderful and interesting people.  Also, I truly enjoy being able to take care of our customer base. Each person who contacts us has an issue that makes them uncomfortable in thier own homes, and we take care of these issues. That direct link makes my job enjoyable.

      Laurie was born in a suburb of Los Angeles and her parents moved their family to her dad’s home state of NC when she was 10. She has lived in the Greensboro area ever since and NC is where she calls home! Billy and Laurie met in High School in 1976 and married after they graduated from college. Basically, Billy and Laurie grew up together!

      Billy and Laurie have two great daughters, Julie Tesh-Clark and Kelly Tesh Thompson. They have two wonderful sons-in-laws, Jeremy Clark and Patrick Thompson. And they are both from Louisiana!!

Kelly and Patrick have a handsome yellow lab named Bacchus (Baci for short) and the newest addition to the family Harper, the most precious and sweet granddaughter born in April 2020!! Patrick runs the Pinehurst/Sandhills branch of PMi.

      Billy and Laurie started Pest Management in 1984 and have over 55 employees. She loves that they have a business that takes care of the customer’s needs and also that we take care of our employees and their families. They love helping people and making a difference in their health and wellbeing. Laurie says, “We are so thankful we have a business that will always be needed and that our employees have job security.”

      Laurie loves traveling and especially taking trips with her family. She loves sharing new places, experiences, and adventures with them!!

      There are so many great organizations Laurie and Billy have worked with over the years. They love to spread the love over as many programs as we can. There are so many worthy causes…Habitat, Make-a-Wish, Victory Junction, Camp Weaver, EMF, The Science Center, Teen Challenge, and Hospice just to name a few!! One of her greatest memories was being a part of granting a wish for a little girl in a wheelchair for a Make-a-wish event with their daughter, Julie. Laurie says, “Seeing firsthand how important these organizations are makes me so happy and feel so blessed we can support and contribute to their cause.”

      Laurie’s family had a dance studio for many years in downtown Greensboro. She grew up with a lot of music and dancing in our house. She loved to waltz with her dad around our living room when she was young. Her dad taught her and her sister all the ballroom dances. Laurie said, “What most don’t know is when I dance with Billy – I lead!!!”
