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.

Opportunities and Attitude

White pelican on the back of #2 green, May 23, 2011
Brandon Carter who served at Lahontan for the last 6 years as my assistant, has decided with his wife Lisa to move back to Colorado to be closer to family . 

Change can be difficult, but is always good when combined with the right attitude.  The week after opening is not usually the time that you loose someone so critical to the success of your operation, but it does create invaluable opportunities for other staff members to "step up", and display unforeseen skills, and critical decision making in roles that they have not been asked to perform before. 

Everyone on the Lahontan Golf Course Maintenance staff has "stepped up", and is giving a big effort to reach all our daily, and seasonal goals.  It was hard to see Brandon go at such a critically important time, and I wish him well.  We appreciate the hard work, and dedication he had shown in his time at Lahontan, and we thank him for the opportunity that lies ahead of us all today.
