Jeff Allen

In this position I am responsible for the operation, maintenance and management of a rather large and expansive irrigation system that meanders through our 600 acre property. Within this property is an 18 hole golf course, a 10 hole golf course, a large driving range, multiple nurseries and residences and other irrigated areas. This position is also responsible for the operation and maintenance of a Carbtrol wastewater treatment unit. I also assist the equipment manager when needed.

Pine Valley is routinely ranked as the number 1 golf course in the world. As such it demands a high level of care, attention and detail. In order to maintain the level of operation we are at I regularly attend ongoing educational seminars at the factory/technical level and through the different distributors we work with.

As Superintendent I was responsible for the operation, maintenance and management of the 18 hole, high end daily fee golf course. Within the scope of my duties included the short and long range planning of golf course maintenance, planning and implementing course improvements, irrigation operation and repairs and assisting the shop manager within any equipment related issues.

As the Regional Account Manager I represented both Rainbird Golf and Atlantic Irrigation product lines. While based primarily in

New Jersey I would regularly call on clients in Staten Island and Eastern Pa.. In my role as the regional representative I would regularly prospect for new business, maintain relationships with our existing customer base, work with the various branches in the territory on any level needed, design and present technical demonstrations and generally try to be the best "face" of the company I could. I am happy to say that I still get calls from people I used to call on who may be stumped or have a problem that may be a little beyond their experience.
