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.”
