Arrow Exterminators celebrates the upcoming retirement of Kevin VanHook, region vice president for Arrow’s North Georgia, North Alabama and Alabama/Florida Gulf Coast home services division, effective Dec. 31, 2025. Kevin’s career spanned decades of dedicated service, leaving a lasting impact on Arrow’s people, culture and growth.
Kevin joined Arrow on May 12, 2008, recruited personally by company legend Charlie Jones. He began as service center manager for the Roswell Service Center, later managed the Alpharetta Home Service Center and eventually became region vice president of the Home Services Division in several states, which includes Wildlife Control, Handyman and Insulation Services. Known for his hands-on leadership and passion for developing others, Kevin built a reputation for connecting personally with team members.
Before joining Arrow, Kevin earned a B.S. in Political Science with a Minor in History from West Georgia College. His early career included 22 years with Diageo, a global beverage company, followed by roles with Hometec Exterminators and Allgood Pest Solutions. Those experiences laid the foundation for the strong leadership and service mindset he brought to Arrow.
During his tenure, Kevin earned multiple honors, including Service Center Manager of the Year, Senior Service Center Manager and the Joe Thomas Pioneer Award. Most recently, he became the inaugural recipient of Arrow’s Legacy Award, which recognizes team members whose integrity, leadership and influence have shaped the company and inspired others to carry its legacy forward.
Emily Thomas Kendrick, CEO of Arrow Exterminators, said in a release, “Kevin represents everything that makes Arrow special. From the moment he joined Arrow, Kevin has led with heart, humility and purpose. His dedication to mentoring others and strengthening our culture has inspired countless team members.” Tim Pollard, President and COO, added, “Kevin’s example of servant leadership will continue to guide us long after his well-earned retirement.”
Reflecting on his time at Arrow, Kevin shared, “Arrow is family, and I have loved every minute of working with this team. The relationships I’ve built here will always mean the world to me.” Kevin and his wife Donna look forward to spending more time with their three grown children (Megan, Erica and Blake) and three grandchildren (Ian, Dylan and Payton). His leadership and friendship will be greatly missed, but his legacy will continue to live on in the people and culture he helped shape.
