Tropic Rain of Southwest Florida LLC​
Rick Deleacaes - Owner/Operator​

Started in the field of irrigation at 14 years old, working with his late father Pat Deleacaes on the weekends.

Rick laughs when he tells the story about when he started in the irrigation industry, there were no such things as "solenoid valves" or "digital timers". Every thing was old school "hydraulics" and "mechanical" timers.
