After 27 years in the Navy as a Commanding Officer, Lou Schager leveraged his leadership skills in the franchising industry as Mosquito Joe’s Brand President.
For veterans returning to civilian life, the franchising industry provides a great way to build relationships, get involved with the community and utilize strategic decision-making skills. Before joining the Mosquito Joe team in 2017, Lou’s time in the Navy proved to be the perfect preparation for franchising. Lou was privileged to serve 27 years in the U.S. Navy, primarily flying F-14 and FA-18 aircraft for much of his career, graduated from the Navy’s Strike-Fighter Weapons School (TOPGUN), and served as the Commanding Officer of an FA-18 squadron.
Even though the military provides veterans with leadership skills and an entrepreneurial spirit, adjusting to civilian life can be difficult. Through exposure to the brand as a loyal customer, Lou was drawn to Mosquito Joe and knew it could be the perfect opportunity to take advantage of his military-inspired leadership skills, strategic thinking and a disciplined approach to following processes.
After leaving the Navy, Lou connected with the founders of Mosquito Joe and soon joined the corporate team as their Chief Operating Officer before being named Brand President of Mosquito Joe in 2017.
