Mirimichi Green is lucky to add such passionate and driven people to our team. We are happy to offer more support and representation in the field for our customers and distributors.”
Meet Adam Burton
Adam Burton assumed the position as Regional Sales Manager of Florida and the surrounding South East territory for Mirimichi Green in December 2018. Adam has experience in customer service and sales support through previous career positions at SiteOne Landscape Supply and wanted to further his efforts to educate and assist customers about soil health and sustainable products like Mirimichi Green.
Adam is a Florida native and now resides in St. Petersburg, FL. Adam’s hobbies are fishing, coaching baseball to many victories, hanging out with friends and family, and traveling.
“I am excited to be working for Mirimichi Green because it allows me an opportunity to pursue my passion of working in the turf industry. Not only that, it brings a sense of confidence knowing that Mirimichi Green and its members believe in sustainability, and making a positive footprint on the environment from a global standpoint. That’s something I can get behind!”
Meet Jon Tumiski
Jon Tumiski grew up in Bridgewater, Massachusetts where he attended Bridgewater State University. He studied Criminal Justice and minored in Sociology, but his true passion is the green industry. This interest and drive started when he worked on the maintenance staff at his local golf course throughout high school and college. After college, he worked at SiteOne Landscape Supply to further his knowledge of the industry.
Jon currently lives in South Boston where he enjoys golfing, hitting the beach, hanging with friends and family, and watching the dominance of Boston Sports.
Meet Brock Turner
Born and raised in East Tennessee alongside 2 brothers, Brock Turner is a proud VFL (Vol For Life) having earned a B.S. degree in Plant Sciences with a minor in Business Studies from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Thanks to his father who is now a Class A retired Golf Course Superintendent, he learned to appreciate the game of golf and its aesthetically pleasing environments at a young age. And equally thanks to professors, mentors, and industry leaders in the golf course industry he has had the unique privilege to learn and study from those distinguished professionals at some of the highest caliber golf and country clubs in the United States.
Brock met his beautiful wife Amanda, a proud native Texan and elementary school educator while serving in his first opportunity as an Assistant Golf Course Superintendent at a golf club in Westlake, Texas. They currently live in Round Rock, Texas just North of Austin and are soon to celebrate their 4 year anniversary!
Brock and Amanda along with their dog, Ment, enjoy day tripping & exploring all that Texas has to offer whenever they can. Brock is an avid college football fan and appreciates good bluegrass music. He also enjoys playing tennis & golf, running, fly fishing, and generally being active outdoors.
“I’m extremely excited to be joining the incredible team at Mirimichi Green and hope to contribute my skill set to help grow the brand in the agronomic industry by showcasing the enormous benefits of our amazing product line!”
Mirimichi Green is thrilled to have three new team members and expects business to thrive with Adam, Jon, and Brock’s support.
Mirimichi Green Announces Carbon In All Liquid Products
06/20/2018 – Castle Hayne, NC – Mirimichi Green has produced one of the most advanced carbon solutions in turf technology by bringing a high performing micronized liquid carbon to the market. Now, Mirimichi Green has announced that their liquid carbon is being mixed in all of their liquid fertilizers and bio-stimulants.
After having success with their products Release 9-0-1 C and Release Zero, which both contain 10% liquid carbon, Mirimichi Green has made the decision to incorporate 2% liquid carbon into the remaining liquid products: Nutri-Release, Nutri-Turf, Nutri-Kelp, and Tree & Shrub.
How much liquid carbon is in each product?
- Release 9-0-1 C – 10% liquid carbon
- Release Zero – 10% liquid carbon
- Nutri-Release – 2% liquid carbon
- Tree & Shrub – 2% liquid carbon
- Nutri-Kelp – 2% liquid carbon
- Nutri-Turf – 2% liquid carbon
Mirimichi Green began mixing the micronized liquid carbon into their products at the beginning of the year to start replenishing inventory with the updated formula. Now, all of Mirimichi Green’s liquid products stocked in distributor locations contain the liquid carbon combination. All products that have the 2% liquid carbon have a small “C” in the bottom left corner of the label (see picture below).
The Mirimichi Green team expects the updated mixture will provide the results that all professionals desire for their turf and plants.
Putting liquid carbon into all of the liquid fertilizers and bio-stimulants was the next step in Mirimichi Green’s efforts to create and develop a Carbon Building Program for their end users. “Carbon is key. Getting carbon back into the soil will improve overall soil health. We have seen the success of our carbon products over the years and wanted to extend that to the rest of our product line. We made this decision because we wanted all of our customers to benefit from putting carbon back into the soil,” said Web Cowden, COO of Mirimichi Green.
Start putting carbon back into the soil today by using Mirimichi Green products. Mirimichi Green specializes in solutions, not just products, with revolutionary soil amendments, fertilizers, bio-stimulants, and pesticides.
Mirimichi Green Adds New Hires To Team
Mirimichi Green, a premier manufacturer of revolutionary and sustainable landscape products, today announces that two new members have been added to the Mirimichi Green team. Erica Backus is the new Product Analyst Intern and Michael Gill is the new Inventory Specialist.
Erica Backus assumed the position as Product Analyst Intern for Mirimichi Green in May 2018. With an interest in analytics and passion for environmental economics, she is extremely excited to become a part of Mirimichi Green’s growth. Erica has past experience in customer service and social media focused marketing. She is working on obtaining a B.S. in Business Administration with majors in Economics and Finance and a Mathematics minor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. She has also studied abroad at Kedge Business School in Marseille, France.
Erica grew up in Portland, CT and currently resides in Wilmington, NC. In addition to learning as much as she can about applying economic systems to protect and sustain our planet, she enjoys improving her wakeboarding skills and spending time with her siblings and parents.
“I just recently discovered my passion in applying economics to sustainability to make people see “going green” is not only beneficial to the environment but also financially advantageous. I hope to learn about Mirimichi Green’s sustainable process of manufacturing effective products, help educate people about the benefits, and tap into new markets. I am so excited to be a part of a company that shares my values and contribute to its growth.”
Michael (Mike) Gill relocated from Weirton, West Virginia, to join Mirimichi Green as an Inventory Specialist in March 2018. In his new role, he will manage on-site inventory, track inventory maintenance and control equipment flow, oversee inbound and outbound shipments, and investigate inventory discrepancies. Michael has 10 years of experience in day-to-day operations in the landscaping industry and industrial work in manufacturing plants.
When Michael is not working, he enjoys fishing, camping, and anything outdoors – thanks to his ultra-competitive side. When he’s not outdoors, he’s cheering on the Pittsburgh Penguins or cooking his nonna’s famous Italian meatballs.
“I’m very thankful to be able to work for a company who genuinely cares so much about the environment. It’s awesome to see people’s reactions when they try Mirimichi Green for the first time. They’re amazed by the results and practically fall in love with our products.”
Mirimichi Green is thrilled to have two new team members and expects business to thrive with Michael and Erica’s support.
