NanoOxygen Systems recently named Jason Richter as sales representative for the golf industry.
Richter (right) has experience in golf course construction as well as maintenance and operations. Before joining the company he was a NanoOxygen System customer, an experience that will help him as he assists superintendents find solutions to their golf course water-quality issues.
NanoOxygen Systems is the developer of a water-quality management system that uses ultrafine bubble technology to improve pond biology and irrigation water quality. The company has successfully implemented water-quality monitoring and improvement technology in more than 20 golf courses nationwide with plans to introduce the technology on a global scale.
A graduate of the crop and soil sciences program at Virginia Tech and a former golf course superintendent, Richter began his career as a project manager for McDonald and Sons, a leading golf course construction company. In his 10 years with the company, he was involved in renovation projects at more than 30 golf courses, including such historic tracks as Congressional Country Club in Maryland, Aronimink Golf Club in Pennsylvania, Quail Hollow in North Carolina, Card Sound in Florida and Baltusrol Golf Club in New Jersey.
In 2015, his career path turned toward golf course maintenance in Florida, first as an assistant superintendent at Card Sound in Key Largo and the Polo Club in Boca Raton(FL). In 2017, he was named superintendent at Fisher Island Club in Miami Beach.
Richter’s experience in golf course construction and maintenance makes and that as a NanoOxygen customer make him a valued resource for other superintendents seeking solutions to improve water quality on their course, says company president and CEO Ron Pote.
“As a valued customer who recently utilized the NanoOxygen System ultrafine bubble technology to perform one of the most successful paspalum grow-ins to date at Fisher Island Club, Jason saw first-hand how increased oxygen levels in irrigation water fundamentally change agronomy for the better,” Pote said. “He was able to pay for his entire system by substituting high DO treated pond water for potable water when watering-in his greens. He inherently understands how this advanced technology works and has seen the benefits across his golf course – and now can share that experience with our customers. We’re excited to have him join our team.”
