Joe Thigpen - Vice President of Operations
Joe began working at Insight in 2013. Through spending most of his adult life working in the pest control industry, he has experience in nearly everything the industry has to offer. At Insight, he has overseen Training, Fleet, Sales, and Operations. Outside of the office, Joe is a huge Carolina Panthers fan and because of that, his heart has been broken for years. More than anything, Joe is a family man and a Christian. He enjoys spending his free time with his beautiful wife, two kids, and great friends. He has been told that he would look just like The Rock, if his face looked better, he had muscles, was 2 feet taller and could raise one eyebrow. Other than those few things, he is a dead ringer. He is also a huge dog lover, especially when you put chili and mustard on that bad boy. Lastly, he has been named Raleigh’s BBQ Champion 4 years in a row by his neighbors’ dogs. Insight has kept him around so long because of his strikingly good looks, unmatched intelligence, and dynamite sense of humor—(All jokes, I promise.) Because of these things, he has cemented his legacy into the very foundation of this company.
