John Niemiec, Equipment Technician, Extraordinaire

John Niemiec, pictured here, pointing out a faulty actuator in the irrigation pump control panel has been our Head Equipment Technician for the past 17 years. John, if not the best, is certainly one of the best Golf Course Equipment Technicians in the state and here is why; he is naturally curious, extremely patient, persistent, can visualize solutions and thinks outside the box. Besides all that, he is good natured and goes out of his way to help all. Pictured also is Macario Rameriz, John's assistant, who possesses many of John's attributes, one being, an ever present smile.
