Do I name a corporate officer as a codefendant in small claims court?

I took my wedding band to a local jeweler for repair. Long story short, he destroyed the center stone and severely damaged the mounting. Estimated damage $4500. Unknown to me when I left the ring, the business had decided to go out of business. They have since closed their doors. I named the corporation as a defendant in a small claims action c/o the president as the business had closed. Should I have filed the suit as ABC Company AND John Doe? Can you sue an officer of the corporation individually? Thank you.
