Dan and Tiffany started Dirtman Sprinklers 30 years ago while both employed full time at other jobs. They wanted to do something that was both fulfilling and that would allow them flexibility in their schedules as they were starting a family. After working many long hours (and lots of nights and weekends) they eventually took a leap of faith and quit their jobs to focus solely on Dirtman Sprinklers. Dan and Tiffany love their community, care about their reputation and strive to give excellent customer service to all of our valued clients!
Dirtman Sprinklers is a true family business. Nearly 10 years ago, Dan and Tiffany partnered with their oldest daughter, Tomi, and her husband, Lee. Tomi is in the office daily and handles all of the scheduling and billing. Lee has a degree in Horticulture and runs our landscape/sprinkler crew. Lee has over 17 years of experience with irrigation and landscaping and is on every jobsite from start to finish ensuring efficiency and quality workmanship. Lee and Tomi share a true passion for the business and care greatly about the honesty, integrity and reputation of the company!
Lee and Tomi have two daughters, Charli (8) and Layne (4). The girls have grown up in the Dirtman office and love their frequent visits where they raid the candy jar, distract “Papa”, build forts out of rolls of poly pipe in the shop and occasionally get to answer the phones.
Our Team
In addition to Dan, Lee, Tomi and Tiffany overseeing all day to day operations, we are fortunate to have an awesome team! We are very proud of our team and appreciate how many wonderful compliments we have received about them! Clients regularly call our office to let us know how impressed they were with our employees. Not only are they experienced and knowledgeable in their positions, they are conscientious, hard-working, respectful and polite!
Caleb, our lead service technician, has been with our company for 8 years! He has performed hundreds, if not thousands, of service calls and we are convinced there’s nothing he can’t fix! He’s seen just about every type of sprinkler related problem there is to see. He is efficient, tremendously knowledgeable and has an expertise that comes with years of hands on experience. We feel incredibly blessed to have him on our team!
Caleb and his wife, Kortney, moved to Missoula from Walla Walla over a decade ago. They are high school sweethearts! Kortney is a passionate physical therapist and currently works for a home healthcare organization. Last year, they welcomed the (cutest ever) little girl, Brooklynn. Brooke visits our office where she melts everyone’s hearts and is very helpful at re-organizing Tomi’s desk!
Gavin, our other service technician, has been with us for 3 years! Initially, he worked on our installation crew where he gained a thorough knowledge and understanding of all aspects of underground sprinkler systems. It was quickly apparent that Gavin would make a great service technician. He is friendly, knowledgeable, thorough and skilled. Gavin has completed hundreds of service calls over the past couple of years and we receive nothing but rave reviews for him!
Gavin’s wife, Annaliese, can be found at Florabella serving up delicious contemporary Italian food! Their adorable son, Lennox, visits jobsites occasionally where he loves to play around in the dirt and see the Skid Steer in action. He isn’t quite digging holes for sprinkler heads yet, but we certainly hope that’s in his future!
Chris, Lee’s right hand man, has been with our company for nearly 6 years! He does all of the plumbing for our new installations, runs the Skid Steer and is an expert trailer tower. Chris is knowledgeable, incredibly hard working and is an expert on all things sprinkler and landscaping related. We are so lucky to have him!
His wife, Steph, works for a TV production company. She is also a marathon runner! Chris isn’t much of a runner but he eagerly awaits Steph at the finish lines – probably with a beer (or two) in hand! They love to travel and spend time exploring the outdoors with their dog, Cash.
Blaine, Lee’s other right hand man, has been with us for nearly 6 years as well! He is a force to be reckoned with on a shovel – nobody can “out-dig” Blaine! Blaine is our ‘Jack of all trades’. He could install a sprinkler system from start to finish himself, runs the Ditch Witch, pulls trailers, does service calls when needed and plows snow in the wintertime. He is knowledgeable, experienced, pays attention to detail and has an incredible work ethic. We feel very fortunate to have him on our team!
Blaine was born and raised in Missoula. He loves spending time outside and visiting his family in northwest Montana.
