Drew Sullivan is a native Nashvillian and a graduate of John Overton High School. He began his landscape career at John Waller Landscaping while attending Middle Tennessee State University. Drew worked for Waller for 18 years in various positions including landscape installation supervisor , purchasing , and garden center manager. “There are many aspects of the landscape business that I learned while working with John Waller. I would not trade my years there for any amount of professional training. Hard work and customer service was No.1 then and still is everyday at Dickens Turf and landscape Supply.”
After leaving Waller, Drew started his own landscape maintenance business. It was during this time that Paul Dickens was starting Dickens Supply. “ My part-time career started with Paul in the spring of 1992. With Paul’s early success, my landscape days ended and my full-time Dickens Supply career started in the fall of 1992.”
Drew is a member of the Tennessee Turfgrass Association, Tennessee Valley Sports Turf Association, Tennessee Nursery and Landscape Association, and on the board of directors of the Professional Landscape Association of Nashville Tennessee (PLANT). Drew was presented the William James Reilly Salesperson of the Year award by the TNLA in January of 2007.
Drew has been married to Malyn for 27 years and is the proud father of four sons. His hobbies include gardening (imagine that), golf , cooking , and coaching youth baseball.
“ I have thoroughly enjoyed my first 15 years at Dickens Supply, and look forward to the next 15. One thing I learned from Paul Dickens is that you can never quit trying to find a good new product to represent and sell. With the way science is traveling today no truer words could have ever been spoken. At Dickens Turf and Landscape Supply we are constantly looking for products that can make growing grass and other plants easier and more satisfying.”
