Steve Christensen is a Collierville neighbor, small business owner, U.S. Navy veteran, husband, father, and grandfather — and he’s been right here, building his life alongside yours, for the past two decades.

He started Fortress Termite Control in 2002 from the ground up. No shortcuts. He’s met payroll in good months and tough ones, dealt with regulations and rising costs, and earned a reputation neighbors have trusted enough to vote Best in Collierville five years running.

Before that, nine years serving in the United States Navy and over a decade in management at Electronic Data Systems taught him how to lead, how to listen, and how to get things done without wasting anyone’s time or money.
