Vision for STMA:
My vision for STMA remains the same as it has been. I want to continue to bring the highest quality sports turf education available to those dedicated people that have chosen this profession. I want STMA to be the gold standard. I want our growth to be controlled and steady with an eye on the future without having to compromise our values and direction.
I have always been a great ambassador for STMA and would like to think that my efforts have had a positive impact on the growth and influence of this great organization. I would like the chance to serve on the Board of Directors and work at the highest level of service to give back to the organization that helped change my life and mold my professional career.
