TCNC Member Since 2016
Why did you join TCNC?
Simple answer; I joined TCNC because I’m in the turfgrass industry and it’s a professional organization that supports what I do. If turfgrass is what I do then I’d be crazy not to join it.
What drew you to volunteer on the Board of Directors?
I was drawn to volunteer as a board member because it was an opportunity to give back to the industry that has provided a nice livelihood for my family. As a secondary benefit I get to work directly with some of the best people in our industry from around the state. People that outsiders would consider competitors to what I do. I look at it similarly to a US Olympic Gold medal basketball team. Those teams are made up of competitors from different teams that have come together to win a gold medal for our country. The board of TCNC is a group of business competitors that have come together for the common good of the industry.
What do you love most about TCNC?
There aren’t truly a lot of professionals that do what we do. So, to be part of an organization that truly understands what we do is awesome.
How has your career benefited from being a member?
My career has benefited in many areas because of being a member of TCNC. Probably the biggest way is through education and networking. Another way is that being part of TCNC adds an extra stamp of credibility to my business.
What is your favorite TCNC Event and why?
My favorite TCNC event so far has been our annual retreat. It was awesome getting into a well-run meeting that truly charted our organizations path for the future. Seeing a strong group of business leaders come together to collaborate, express concerns and work through issues was truly awesome.
How do you define success in the Turf business?
I define success in the turf industry by asking if you are learning, growing, adapting, having fun, building relationships and making some money along the way.
