This is where a lot of things that I had learned in the past were not only built soon but also vastly improved. A lot more responsibilities and jobs started along with this job. Some of the same along the lines of mowing, painting, and other general field work. Along with that came a lot of sod work, laid an entire field at one point, a lot of fertilizing, aerating, and other more meticulous things that’s are able to be done at the higher professional level.

One of a very small crew that managed and maintained a sports complex of 12 baseball fields and 1 soccer field. (Brighton Municipal Athletic Complex)

Along with the entirety of the complex its self, due to the fact that it was a city job, there was a lot of odds and ends jobs that were available as well. One ton truck driving and operating, delivering white rock, use of a buffalo blower around the city itself, snow removal, more in-depth irrigation repair, and much more.

Complete field maintenance. This is where I learned a lot of the ins and outs of groundskeeping at a semi professional level. Not the biggest of budget when it comes to upkeep in general but was still able to do a lot such as mowing, painting, irrigation work, dirt work around the baseball field. Was also put into a leadership role very early so I was able to figure things out that come along with those responsibilities, management, employee allocation, and just general navigation of a young adult in a leadership role.
