Who is Jack Sparks?

In Episode 260 of the What’s Up Dunwoody podcast, host Matt Weber interviews Jack Sparks—an all-around local leader known for wearing two important hats. As the outgoing president of the Rotary Club of Dunwoody and the owner of Mosquito Joe of North Atlanta, Jack brings both heart and hustle to his community service and small business.

Podcast host Matt Weber first met Jack while coaching his son’s soccer team, and their shared commitment to Dunwoody has only grown since. Their conversation reflects how deeply woven Jack is into the fabric of living in Dunwoody.

What Does the Rotary Club of Dunwoody Do?

The Rotary Club of Dunwoody is part of the world’s largest service organization, rooted in the motto “Service Above Self.” Jack offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the club operates. Their Rotary year starts July 1, with each president serving a one-year term that flows smoothly into the next.

During Jack’s tenure, the club hosted events like local cleanups at Bounds Gardens, speaker series with civic leaders, and projects like providing supplies for children of human trafficking survivors. For those relocating to Dunwoody and seeking a meaningful way to connect, Rotary provides a welcoming, purpose-driven environment.

Why Jack Started Mosquito Joe of North Atlanta

Before he was spraying yards, Jack Sparks worked in commercial banking. His jump to small business ownership came from a personal place—his daughter had a dangerous allergic reaction to a mosquito bite. That scare launched a deep dive into franchise research, and ultimately, Jack landed on Mosquito Joe.

Since launching in 2014, his company has become a go-to service for families in neighborhoods like Village Mill and Redfield who want to enjoy outdoor living without the nuisance—or danger—of mosquitos. Jack blends practical pest control with outstanding customer service, and his banking background helps him run things smartly and efficiently.

How Mosquito Joe Serves Dunwoody Families

Mosquito Joe isn’t just a convenience—it’s a health and quality-of-life service. Especially in the warm Georgia months, families in the Dunwoody real estate market look for homes where they can enjoy backyards, patios, and parks without being swarmed. Jack’s services make that possible.

For those living in Dunwoody who love their outdoor spaces, or those moving to Dunwoody for more suburban perks, a mosquito-free yard is often high on the wish list.

Blending Business with Community Impact

What makes Jack Sparks stand out is how well he balances entrepreneurship and civic service. While Mosquito Joe is his business, Rotary is his heart—and both roles intersect when it comes to giving back. Jack helps lead projects that improve Dunwoody’s quality of life while also offering a service that protects families from mosquito-borne illness.

Jack’s story is a blueprint for local business owners who want to make an impact beyond profit. He’s involved in everything from polio eradication efforts to school outreach in Dunwoody.
