Sean Knox

Fourth-Generation Leader of Knox Pest Control

About

Sean Knox is a fourth-generation leader in the pest control industry, carrying forward a legacy of service, integrity, and community commitment that began with his great-grandfather in the 1920s. What started as a small family venture in Atlanta grew into a trusted brand built on hard work, quality service, and enduring relationships—a tradition that continues today through Knox Pest Control, where Sean leads with vision, faith, and purpose After earning his BBA from Georgia Southern University (2000) and his MBA from Baylor University (2020), Sean continued his professional development at Regent University, where he studied Public Policy and embraced the school’s mission of “Christian Leadership to Change the World.” This foundation helped shape his philosophy of servant leadership—leading with humility, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to others. Under Sean’s leadership, Knox Pest Control has grown from a single office into 18 locations across the Southeast, serving over 90,000 customers and employing more than 225 professionals. He attributes this growth to the company’s focus on people before profits, building teams that embody excellence, and ensuring customers feel valued beyond the service call. Beyond business, Sean remains deeply involved in his community. He serves on the boards of the Boys & Girls Club and the Rotary Club, and continues to support Regent University programs that prepare principled leaders for the future. To Sean, Knox Pest Control is more than a company—it’s a mission to protect families, build communities, and preserve a family legacy rooted in faith and purpose for generations to come.
