About Me

Kevin is currently the certified superintendent at La Rinconada Country Club. Kevin was the Director of Maintenance at Lahontan Golf Club for over 14 years. Some of the responsibilities over the expanse of his career include the daily upkeep of multiple golf courses, natural resources, environmental compliance, and roads and streets. The wide ranging expertise has come from a combination of education and experiences. Degrees in Meteorology (1987 University of Nebraska/Lincoln), and Horticulture (1992 Colorado State), complete the formal side of this important combination of qualifications. A lifetime of experience around golf courses, and the game of golf was provided by Kevin's father.

The Golf Industry Show

The National Associations of the Superintendents, Owners, Architects, and Builders gather annually at the Golf Industrty Show that was held this February in Orlando.  This is the event where new products are unveiled, educational classes are held, and networking happens.

I can honestly say that I get as much out of this event as I put into it.  Good planning, a focus on the needs of Lahontan, and my desire to continue to learn and get better at my job assure that this is not a vacation.  Quite the opposite in fact, although I do enjoy the company of fellow professionals in the industry that I see once a year, I always return physically exhausted and mentally focused and excited.  Which of course is frustrating, as it is once again snowing and we are a couple of months away from the course opening. But when it is time to present the course for play, all the current tools and techniques will be utilized to assure our success.

Now if we couple just get rid of this snow.
