FMC adds Western U.S. T&O market specialist

Alea Miehls

FMC Corp. named Alea Miehls a market specialist for its turf and ornamental (T&O) segment. She will provide sales and technical support in the western states, including California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, Nevada, Utah and Arizona, working closely with distribution and professionals in lawn care, golf, and nursery and ornamental markets.

Miehls replaces Corbett Schnatmeyer, who moved from the West Coast to cover the T&O market in the Northeast after Allan Dufoe was named to the newly created position of T&O key account manager and nursery and greenhouse market lead.

“Alea has a solid background in turf and ornamental science and a passion for working in the industry,” says Maureen Thompson, business manager for FMC T&O Solutions. “She is a welcome addition to our team.”

Miehls, a recent graduate of the University of California, Riverside,  holds a bachelor’s degree in biological sciences and a master’s degree in plant biology. She conducted her thesis project on salinity and water management of perennial ryegrass.
