Mike Huber
Territory Sales Manager
Year Hired: 2017
I enjoy working everyday with our customers, cultivating lasting relationships and educating them on our product line; helping them to be successful in their business and in their customer’s gardening projects.
The best part is the people that I work with and the family atmosphere. Being a part of a 4th generation family-owned company is very special and unique. They care about their employees and their families. In addition, my input and opinion is always encouraged and valued in the day to day operations and in future planning. We are all part of the team.

Territory Sales Manager
Year Hired: 2006
I met Espoma Owner, Jeremy Brunner, on a garden center bus tour. I was very happy at my previous job, but Jeremy’s passion and vision for the growth of the Espoma company was something that was missing from my previous job. I wanted to be a part of something that I could see and feel was going to be spectacular. Espoma cares just as deeply for their work family as they do for their products. So, for me, there was just no question on where I wanted to continue my career.
Shawn Shockey
Vice President of Sales
Year Hired: 2009
I was looking to join a company where my opinion mattered. Being a family owned company for over 90 years meant stability to me. I started out as a Territory Sales Manager and realized they encouraged employees to suggest ways we could improve. This made me feel like a valued employee whose ideas would be considered for us all to grow.
I enjoy working with the office, manufacturing, and sales teams, as well as helping our customers grow their business. It’s never boring, and every day is different and exciting.

This new operation is expected to be completed before the end of this year, and it will ensure a continuous supply of ingredients, provide ample capacity for future growth, help control costs, and improve the physical quality of Espoma products.

I was referred by a family member 40 plus years ago. I have never looked back since. I really like working in the fast-paced environment during shipping season. It is always a challenge, and it is satisfying to know that we are getting the product out on time to our customers. The family atmosphere the Brunner’s have created and fostered is great.

Dawn Hand
Office Manager
Year Hired:2008
I wanted to work at Espoma because I knew it was a solid company that had been in Millville since the beginning. I like that there are so many employees that have been here for over 20 years. What makes it special is that Espoma is very family oriented. Everyone cares about each other and works together to help each other.
I started as the receptionist and over time have learned many different skills and am proud to now be the Office manager.
Dave Mountford
Senior Logistics Manager
Year Hired: 1989
My father was a salesman for Espoma for 15 years. I was working retail and it was tough. I only had one day off and worked 60+ hours a week. As I started a family, I felt there would be a lot I would miss with my kids. Then the logistics person retired at Espoma and I knew the company well enough to know there would be stability and growth. So I applied and now been here for over 30 years…,
Matt Dauphinais
Marketing
Year hired: 2018
I grew up gardening alongside my grandfather, which fostered my love for the outdoors and plants. After high school, I attained a degree in Turf Grass Management and pursued a career in the golf course industry. After several years, I was presented with an opportunity to change careers and join The Espoma Company. I feel fortunate to work for a company that trained me in several departments before allowing me to settle into my current marketing role. I enjoy the team atmosphere at Espoma and am proud to be part of a 95-year-old family business. I believe my grandfather would be happy to see that I’ve returned to my gardening roots.
