The superintendent who went robotic.

8 seasons running Stow Acres as a Class A superintendent. Now I design and deploy Kress robotic mowing fleets for golf courses across Long Island, Connecticut and New England.

The story

I've stood where you stand.

I spent 8 seasons as superintendent at Stow Acres: crews, budgets, irrigation, equipment, and a lot of data. Technology was always how I kept up.

In 2016 that turned into a company. I founded Turf Cloud to help superintendents manage their data, and GreenSight acquired it in 2018.

Today I'm VP of Sales & Marketing at GreenSight, putting Kress robotic mowers to work on real courses. I still think like a super: what does this do for my crew, my budget and my turf?

What I do

From first walk to a fleet that mows itself.

Site designs & deployment maps

Every property gets a map: where each robot works, where it docks, and how many acres it covers.

Fleet sizing

The right mix of Kress Mission RTK, Mission MEGA RTK and EyePilot 4×4 models for your acreage and terrain. Not one robot more than you need.

Cost-per-acre analysis

What robotic mowing costs against what you spend today, in plain numbers your GM and board can read.

Install & support

GreenSight is an official Kress dealer. We install, map your mowing zones with the RTK mapping trolley, and stay with you after. Your fleet runs through TurfCloud.
