EcoSmart Hires Harlan Feese; Opens Support Office in Georgia

NASHVILLE, Fla. — EcoSmart Technologies has hired Dr. Harlan Feese as technical director for the Commercial Division following a brief consulting assignment with the company. Feese brings to EcoSmart more than 25 years experience in the pesticide industry, and recently served as vice president – technical services at Orkin Pest Control.

“The hiring of Harlan shows EcoSmart’s commitment to support its minimum and reduced-risk product lines in the professional market,” says David Murphy, vice president of EcoSmart’s Commercial Division. “A few years ago, we were working with Harlan when he was with Orkin to show the viability of our botanical-based pesticides. Now he works for EcoSmart. That alone speaks volumes.”

In conjunction with the hiring of Feese, EcoSmart has opened a support office in Alpharetta, Ga., a suburb of Atlanta. “The Atlanta location will be our sales support, technical support and customer support office for the Commercial Division,” says Steve Bessette, president of EcoSmart. “David Murphy, Harlan Feese and Judy Hight will be working together in Atlanta, while the main office and laboratory will remain in Nashville.”
