Stephen Wood, CSFM , Sports Turf Manager with the City of Ocala for a little over nine years. I came from the golf course industry, being a Superintendent for over 20 years. The City of Ocala has eight sport facilities located across the city. Sizes range from a single youth baseball field to multi field complexes. Membership and participation in the CFSTMA is very important for many reasons. Educational, sharing experiences with other members, visiting other sites, and keeping current with the industry, are just a few that’s comes to mind. I believe membership is so important that I include our entire sport turf staff.
Daniel Thomas, CSFM - Head Groudskeeper for the Baltimore Orioles Spring Training at Ed Smith Stadium & Buck O"Neil Complex. "Becoming a CSFM isn’t just another feather in the cap. It signifies all of the hard work and dedication to our craft. It is something to be very proud of as a leader in the industry. Through the STMA and regional chapters such as the Central Florida STMA, we are given an outlet to teach and lead others starting out in the world of sports turf.”
David Nowakowski, CSFM - Territory Manager at Harrell's, LLC. The Sports Turf Industry is a special group of professionals. It is one where all are willing to share ideas and help fellow Sports Turf Managers. CFSTMA brings together all of these managers to share ideas, visit different types of sites and learn from University Professors and Industry Professionals. Being in the Sports Turf/Green Industry for 20+ years, I have always felt in order to further our Sports Turf Profession, having more Certified Sports Turf Managers in the work force is imperative. Becoming a CFSM is not a credential to add to your resume, it is a responsibility to increase the professionalism of our industry.
