Employee Spotlight: Perry Nicholson

AmberNovember 19, 2019General, Manure Equipment Employee Spotlight

Although the agriculture industry and our products/ services may change over the years, one consistent factor remains; our employees are one of the most important ingredients in our recipe for success. Through our Employee Spotlight Blog Series, learn about the people who make up the Stutsman team. Perry Nicholson, waste handling service mechanic, has been a great resource in our shop since 2013.

I enjoy working with Perry. He is dependable and always on time while posing a sense of urgency to get the job done right the first time. He values collaboration from everyone and always finds a way around obstacles, seldom finding anything he can’t fix. Perry has high family values at home and at work; altogether he is a top notch guy.” – John Yoder, VP of Waste Handling

This Riverside native and Highland High School alum found his niche fixing things early on. Going to work at his father’s collision repair shop in Iowa City was one of his first career adventures. After 29 years in the business, and even becoming a co-owner, Perry hung up his hat in the collision world and closed his shop in 2010. Perry also dabbled in underground work at Hagert Earth Works for awhile before joining the Stutsman team. Although he wasn’t very familiar with agriculture equipment, he was excited to learn and up for a challenge.

Outside of work, Perry enjoys working around home and in his yard, fishing, hunting, and spending time with his wife, Janet. Together they have two daughters, Kristin & Katrina whom have both married and are starting lives with their husbands, Derek & Justin. Perry and Janet have also been enjoying the time spent as grandparents to Niya & Livia.
