For many years, Brian and Kristin Lunsford have operated their family of companies with a simple but profound motto: Bring the Joy. The vision for creating joy in the lives of others has been ushered into the community through LunsPro Inspections, Kingfish Pest Control, and Jacksonville Real Producers.

JoyLights is led by vice president Michelle Foster, who is also the VP for LunsPro Inspections, vice president Brian Wescott, who is also the VP of Kingfish Pest Control, and general manager Tony Capozzi, who doubles as LunsPro’s Services Leader.
The vision for JoyLights was born at Brian and Kristin’s family home. “Brian often talks about how when he and Kristin first got Christmas lights on their home (from another local company), they were overcome with a joyful feeling as they stood there as a family looking at the lights on their home,” JoyLights’ vice president Michelle Foster explains. “That’s where it all started.” Tony Capozzi, JoyLights’ general manager and a military veteran with over 13 years of service in the Army, echoes Michelle’s sentiment. “Bringing the joy — often, we find that as soon as we install lights, especially the Gemstone Lights that are multi-seasonal, people are out in their driveways, excitedly looking at the different colors and feeling genuinely thrilled about it.”
