GETTING TO KNOW US – DERRIK FIASCO

Hello again everybody! It’s a gloomy, cool Friday here in Pittsburgh and our crews are out there plugging away on a makeup day from all the rain yesterday. Spring has been absolutely crazy this year and it looks to stay that way moving forward. I would like to thank all of our customers for their patience with us during these first few weeks of the year!

Enough about work for the time being! I figured, since it’s Friday and the weekend is mere hours away, we could have a little fun. Previously, I had mentioned that we would eventually let you find out a little more about our team. Today, will be our first (of many) installment of “Getting To Know Us.”

Not only does our company like to know more about our employees, but we want you to feel comfortable with our team members as well. After all, we are on your property and we want you to have confidence in the men and women working there. We encourage you to interact with our team members if you get the opportunity. They’re outstanding, normal people just like you and me, who would be more than happy to talk with you for a few minutes.

Our first highlighted team member is Derrik Fiasco. Derrik is the Landscape Maintenance Division Leader. He oversees all of our grass cutting crews, all while running the crew on our larger properties. Also, Derrik is currently in the Army National Guard and prior to joining the Stockman Lawnscape family, courageously served multiple tours overseas during Operation Enduring Freedom. A leader in every sense of the word, Derrik lives his personal life the same way we operate based on our company core values. He is a fantastic team member and an even better person. We are excited to see his development, as our company continues to grow. The dedication to the company and selflessness he shows on a daily basis makes his future very bright. If you have a chance to speak with Derrik, we highly recommend it!

We had Derrik fill out his “Getting to Know You” form so that we could all learn a little more about him. There were even things on there we didn’t know. We hope you enjoy getting to know our Landscape Maintenance Division Leader, Derrik Fiasco!
