Harold Leyse
Co-Founder, Retired
harold@adamspestcontrol.com
Harold co-founded Adam's in 1971. He retired in 2011, on his 74th birthday, after 48 years in the industry, knowing Adam's was in good hands with his son Todd and daughter Andrea leading the company. Under his leadership, Adam's grew every year - 40 straight - a rare feat when you consider all the bad economies along the way. He thanks his loyal customer base, some of which who have been with him since the early '70's, and of course his dedicated employees.

Todd Leyse
President

When his dad asked him to join him in 1996, he did. He's since been nationally recognized twice as a leader in the industry (40 under 40 and PCT Crown Leadership Award) and is a member of the Minnesota Pest Management Association's Hall of Fame.
