Summary

I have been in the golf course maintenance industry for fourteen years. I've been an assistant for 10 years, an irrigator for 3 years, and a greens keeper for a year and a half. I also have my associate's degree in turf grass management, and I'm continuing my education in pursuit of a bachelor's degree in agronomy. As I continue learning more about the golf course maintenance industry, I am enjoying the process and the challenges that come with every obstacle that comes my way.
