TRUSTED EXPERIENCE
Matt Wasserloos started his career in turf grass management where he worked managing maintenance operations at several prestigious high-end private country clubs and golf resorts throughout the North East.
He was also awarded the coveted USGA Green Section internship and shadowed under an Agronomist consulting with Superintendents at some of the top-rated country clubs in the metropolitan areas of New York and Connecticut.
​
After fifteen years of broad experience in the turf grass management field, Matt pursued his interests in horticulture and managed the nursery operations at a high-end, independent garden center in the Monadnock region of New Hampshire, for a period of fifteen years. With his strong management and leadership style, Matt transformed the garden center to become one of the best in the region.
In addition to three decades of experience in the green industry, Matt has degrees in turf grass management and plant and soil science, from the Stockbridge School of Agriculture and the University of Massachusetts, as well as a certificate in Environmental Planning from the Audubon Institute.
