Susan Pruitt - Service Department Manager

Susan is beloved by our clients because of her unique way of working 'The Schedule' to ensure that the clients obtain the prompt service they request. Keeping our customers happy is a primary goal and Susan works diligently to make sure that happens.
John C. Mickman - Service Technician Coordinator
During the busy Fall months, John C. (Junior) steps in to schedule late season Service Calls and Winterizations. Since he was 8 years old, John has worked in the Family Business within the Irrigation Department. As such, there is no problem that John cannot solve, either on the phone, or first hand.
John's friendly, professional manner is greatly appreciated by our clients and he goes way beyond 'normal duty' to ensure that each person is given the 'personalized' service they have come to expect from Mickman Brothers. Due to the fact that he has installed hundreds of systems during his long career, he has 'seen it all', and many times can diagnose a problem by simply hearing the client describe the issue; many times his diagnosis allows the customer to fix the problem themselves if they wish. Either way, John understands the way his 'Families Business' has always focused on prompt Customer Service, and he follows through with our clients in an extraordinary manner.
