After high school, I began working for Barefoot Grass Co. while attending The University of Houston. My career quickly grew from there, with a position at Lesco as a Facility Manager, helping open several local stores in the Houston area. In 1998, I joined Watson Distributing Co. as a sales professional, specializing in golf course equipment—a role that I continue to thrive in today. Over the past decade, I have served as a Regional Sales Manager for Salsco, Inc., covering the Southwestern U.S., where I oversee sales, service, equipment finance, dealer development, and customer support.

With over 28 years of experience in selling commercial turf equipment, I’ve had the privilege of earning multiple national sales awards from two respected industry-leading companies. As a dedicated 25-year member of the STGCSA, I’ve also contributed as an affiliate board member for 15 years. These opportunities have not only allowed me to foster lasting relationships with incredible people, but have also deepened my appreciation and passion for the turf and grounds care industry.

Outside of work, I’m proud to be married to my wonderful wife, Carrie, and to have four amazing kids—Ashlyn (26), Preston (14), and twin girls Brooklyn and Braelyn (9). As a family, we love spending time outdoors camping, fishing, and enjoying BBQ. Most weekends, you’ll find us at the ballpark, cheering on our kids as they play sports.

I look forward to continuing my journey in the Turf and Soil, working alongside passionate individuals and contributing to this great industry that has given me so much.
