Stanley Black and Decker's Manager of Grounds and Field Testing, Vince Jagodzinski, brought us along for a day in his life in Valley City, Ohio! We sat down with Vince at the end of the day to hear his full turf origin story and the things that have kept him rooted in the industry since day one.

Here's what you'll hear in this week's Groundskeeper Chat:

  • A journey through Vince's career in the industry 
  • Vince's pitch to the next generation or someone looking for their next adventure 
  • How the turf industry has supported Vince in his career 
  • Vince's philosophy that has kept him grounded throughout all the changes

A little bit more about our guest:

Vince Jagodzinski has spent decades in the green industry, what started as a landscape business with his brother evolved in a sports turf gig at the University level, which ultimately brought him to where he is today with Stanley Black and Decker. Vince is an active member of PGMS and advocate for more grounds managers and crews to participate in industry associations.
