Jonnie grew up in a small farming town in Southwestern Colorado. He was raised working on the family farm alongside his father from a young age–an experience that laid the foundation of his relentless work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit.
When Jonnie was 8 his parents made the decision to move to Arizona part time so that Jonnie could attend school in the valley, where he graduated from Moon Valley High School. Jonnie then attended Glendale Community College and completed classes in estimating as well as blue print reading and drafting. During school Jonnie realized his passion lay in owning and running a business of his own.
In 1982 Jonnie left the farm to race motocross professionally around the country. In 1984 he started a service business and then later sold looking to get into the construction industry. His search led him to General Acrylics. With Jonnie’s athletic background, sports construction struck a cord and in October of 1987 he purchased the business from it’s founder, Dick Hoover. From that point on Jonnie worked tirelessly to grow General Acrylics into one of the premier sports facility construction companies in the U.S.
General Acrylics has been a long-time member of the American Sports Builders Association and Jonnie is an ASBA certified tennis court and running track builder.
When not in the office Jonnie spends most of his time outdoors riding dirt bikes, mountain biking , fishing and spending quality time with his family. He still spends a large amount of time in his former home state of Colorado.
Mike Wickham joined the General Acrylics family in 2013. As of January 2019, he is assisting the company as an independent contractor and is still a key member of our sales team specializing in synthetic turf and running tracks.
Mike attended the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (1987-1991) and Arizona State University (1991-1992). He has been a resident of Arizona for over 27 years. He and his wife (Lisa) can often be found hiking trails and mountains in the Phoenix area (where they reside) or in Prescott (where they often go to escape the heat of the desert). Mike played competitive sports all through high school and college and is very passionate about athletics. He also enjoys attending major sporting events and venues (locally and nationally) and only has a few more stadiums/events targeted to cross off his bucket list. Being a Wisconsin native and proud “Cheesehead” he is an avid Green Bay Packers fan and supporter of all teams from his home state. With Mike’s athletic background, he still enjoys competition and participating in various sports related activities (golf, basketball, softball and more). With his organized sports background, Mike understands the importance of teamwork and thrives under pressure. His co-workers gain from his example of leadership and attention to customer service details and also benefit from his 25 (plus) years of sales and/or sales management experience (the last 18 years in the construction industry). Mike came to General Acrylics with a great reputation and with a track record for exceeding customer expectations. He is dedicated to providing prompt and professional service. We are truly proud to have Mike representing General Acrylics and he can be reached at (602) 569-9377 Ext. 119 or via e-mail at mwickham@generalacrylics.com for any of your turf and track needs.

Since we are a contracting firm we don’t have salesmen in the traditional sense. Our people make contact with our customers or potential customers and provide them with solutions whether it is new construction or problems they have with their existing courts, tracks, and synthetic turf. A proposal is then submitted for the work the customer is requesting as well as our recommendations for the best result possible. The members of our staff have not, and will not, sell anyone a product or service that is inappropriate for the client’s needs. Our staff is trained in problem solving and estimating, not in sales. They are instructed to provide a quality end product achieved with up to date knowledge of skills and techniques, delivered with the utmost courtesy.
