Sprague Pest Solutions has promoted Chastin Hunsaker to branch manager of its Salt Lake City, Utah, branch.
Hunsaker’s promotion highlights the growth, leadership and technical skill he’s shown since he joined Sprague in March 2021. He started as a route manager and has taken on more responsibility over time, spending the last three years as the branch trainer technician.
Prior to his career at Sprague, Hunsaker served in the U.S. Army Reserves as a 92G food service specialist. He was attached to the 172nd Multifunctional Battalion based out of Ogden, Utah. His military background reflects a strong foundation in discipline, responsibility and service — all qualities that continue to shape his leadership approach today.
“Chastin’s journey with Sprague really shows what’s possible when you’re eager to learn, grow and take on new challenges,” said regional manager Lindsey Marker. “He knows our clients, our team and the ins and outs of pest management better than anyone. We’re excited to see him lead the Salt Lake team into this next chapter.”
Hunsaker’s is the first new branch manager in Salt Lake City in nearly a decade after the promotion of Marker to regional manager. Over the past several years, the Salt Lake team has experienced significant growth, expanding its impact, capabilities and client base throughout the Wasatch Front region.
In his new role, Hunsaker will oversee all service operations and team development.
