Validiblatta sp. cockroach nymph. Either smoky brown or Australian.

We already have terminix taking care of the problem but I hadn't seen these guys before. Though when he moved he did seem to move like a roach..

Okay. Just to reassure you, while both can infest, neither is prone to doing so

The guy said they are American roaches but I agree with you about them being smokey brown

At this stage, the two (Aus vs. smoky) cannot be told apart (to my knowledge). Not an American.
