Taken on the 1st, you can see the drainage in the soccer fields and irrigation in baseball, cool!

James: My name is James Bergdoll and I love grass! Ever since I was big enough to stand up to Dad’s lawnmower, I’ve been taking care of turf. My parents instilled in me at an early age, a hard-working, Midwestern work ethic and the drive to succeed that has gotten me to where I am today. Over the course of my younger years I have held different jobs, but none of those were as rewarding as being a Sports Turf Manager. The best part of the job for me is after a long, hard day of work, you can step back and see your results. Yes, nothing is better than a great looking field, but I feel that participant safety comes first, followed by playability, and aesthetics being the final consideration. I have worked at a variety of grounds maintenance facilities in my career that have broadened my skills as a turf manger and allowed me to constantly learn new techniques and strategies. I have chosen this career because I have a deep passion for what I do and I honestly cannot imagine doing anything else. Cheers!
