I would like to return to a management position withing the golf industry. I am open to all positions. Because economy has finally caught up with me, as my position at Altman Plants was cut this morning due to a loss in profit. For the past 2.5 years, I have worked as the Technical Services Supervisor for the Loxahatchee, FL location (85 acres). This position was part of the grow team responsible for overall health and quality of plants. Those to include both cactus & succulents, aloe, rose, hibiscus, mandevillea, palms and various foliage plants. I was responsible for the purchase of all pesticides and fertilizers ($460,000 budget) and authored all spray programs. Performed testing of water, plant tissue, soil media for pathogens as well as pH/EC. I conducted all worker /handler pesticide safety training for staff and new employees. Maintained all pesticide records required by Federal, State and local ordinances. Previous to my last ten years working in commercial horticulture, I was employed as both assistant and superintendent at both public/private facilities. Resume attached to detail this career path. I can be reached at 561-932-8962, or gusballing@outlook.com Thank you for your consideration.
