Who We Are

Christian and Mary

Owner

Christian was born in Charleston and spent his childhood in Boone, NC. His love for the Upstate began early—after a summer camp trip to Lake Keowee, the memory of wakeboarding on crystal-clear water surrounded by mountain views never left him.

Christian later attended the University of North Carolina Wilmington, where he first entered the pest control industry. After nine years in the field and a short break, he knew exactly where he wanted to be: back in the Upstate, near Lake Keowee, building a family-run business alongside people he trusts.

Christian met his wife, Mary (the organized one), in Charlotte, and together they have two beautiful Irish-twin daughters—Lyla and Lena.

As parents, they understand firsthand how important it is to keep a home safe, healthy, and enjoyable for kids, pets, and family. (They would know… they have four cats and a dog!)

Christian and Mary share a passion for fitness, travel, and serving their community. Their mission at Nativa is simple: provide reliable, high-quality pest control with the personal care only a local family business can offer.

His journey began in the pest control industry, where he discovered not only a career path but a calling rooted in service, honesty, and creating real impact for real people.

South Carolina has always felt like home to Owen. Building a family owned business here is not just a career move, it is the start of the life he has always envisioned. As part owner of Nativa, Owen is
committed to building a company grounded in respect, transparency, and genuine care for every customer and every team member.
You will find Owen in the gym, at church, or exploring a new trail somewhere in the Foothills. What motivates him most is waking up every day with the goal of showing others how great life can be
when you stay positive, stay driven, and stay focused on serving others.

As a co owner of Nativa, Owen stands by one promise: he will never let a customer down, and he will never let a team member down. At the end of the day, Nativa is not just a business, It is a family run company built on trust, hard work, and heart.

I was genuinely impressed with this company from start to finish, and that’s not something I say very often. Our first interaction was with Nick, who came by our house last Saturday doing door-to-door sales. As someone who works in professional sales myself, I probably pay more attention than most people to how someone presents themselves, communicates value, handles questions, and represents the company they work for. Nick did an excellent job in every one of those areas. Door-to-door sales is not easy, and unfortunately a lot of companies put people out in the field with very little training. You can usually tell within the first few minutes when someone has just been handed a script and sent out knocking on doors. That type of interaction can leave a bad taste in your mouth before you ever even consider using the company. That was not my experience with Nick at all. He was prepared, knowledgeable, professional, and committed to explaining the service clearly without making the conversation feel rushed or overly pushy. I was very impressed with the effort he put into his presentation and with the way he represented the company. Our technician, Josh, came out Saturday morning and actually arrived on time, if not a little early. That alone seems harder and harder to find these days. More importantly, he followed through on what had been promised during the sales process. Josh was professional, respectful, easy to talk to, and just seemed like a good ole hardworking guy trying to do his job the right way. He took time to explain what he was doing rather than simply showing up, spraying a few areas, and leaving. He pointed out some of the insects he found around the home, explained what they were seeing, and helped me understand how the treatment he was applying would affect the current activity as well as help prevent future issues. What impressed me the most was the outdoor treatment. We have roughly an acre of property, and I fully expected the treatment to mostly consist of spraying around the immediate foundation of the house and calling it done. Josh actually treated across the property and applied product up along the exterior walls of the home as well. He took his time and appeared to be very thorough with the entire service. That may seem like a small thing, but anyone who has used pest control, lawn care, fertilizer, or similar home-service companies probably knows exactly what I mean. There can sometimes be a pretty big difference between what is described during the sales process and what actually gets delivered once the technician arrives. You’re told about a thorough treatment or detailed service, and then somebody shows up, spends fifteen minutes on the property, and you’re left wondering what you actually paid for. That was absolutely not the case here. From Nick explaining the service and setting the expectations to Josh actually showing up and delivering on those expectations, the entire experience felt consistent. That tells me there is communication between the sales side and the service side of the company, which is extremely important and unfortunately not always common. I also appreciated that neither interaction felt robotic. Nick clearly cared about doing a good job with his presentation, and Josh clearly cared about doing the actual service correctly. Both were respectful, professional, and represented the company very well. Based on my first experience, I would absolutely recommend this company to friends and neighbors. They made a very strong first impression, and I’m actually looking forward to seeing how the property responds to the treatment and to our next service visit.

Jordan did a really good job. I cant really do a full review since I wasnt outside. I planned on going outside but then I heard Jordan plus my bf yell woah then run away stomping and laughing. Come to find out as soon as he sprayed one wasp hole they all swarmed.
