Summary
Hi, My name is Jake. I am a single father of two girls, based out of Fitchburg, MA. I have been working in the golf course grounds industry for almost 5 years now and believe I have found my passion. So much so that I took the next step and completed a turf grass certificate program through Umass last March. My goal is to one day become a Superintendent at a hyper competitive golf course! Having kids young has taught me many important lessons, a lot of which I believe transfer well into our field of work. Lessons like the importance of work ethic, and others like patience, and attention to detail. These are just a few of the reasons I would be a great fit as an assistant superintendent. I have always quickly risen to management rolls wherever I have been, including becoming a senior crew member and trainer at Oak Hill CC. As much as I have enjoyed my time at Oak Hill, I believe it is now time for the next step in me and my families journey, and I am actively looking for that next opportunity.
