With a strong background in turfgrass science and over a decade of experience in high-end golf course management, I have worked extensively with advanced agronomic practices, precision technology, and sustainable maintenance strategies. My career began with academic research in turfgrass science, leading to published studies on light requirements for warm-season putting greens. From there, I transitioned into hands-on course management, working at private clubs in the Mountain West region.
Through years of practical experience, I have developed a deep understanding of how technology can enhance turf management, from implementing GPS-guided chemical applications to optimizing labor efficiency through automation. My focus is on bridging the gap between new technology and real-world application, ensuring that superintendents, sports field managers, and industry professionals have access to the tools and knowledge they need to improve playing conditions while maximizing efficiency.
At Mountain West Turf Technologies, our mission is to help turf managers stay ahead of the curve, leveraging data-driven strategies and innovative solutions to meet the evolving demands of the industry.
