Advanced Turf Solutions recently welcomed James Bergdoll, CSFM, to its sales team. Bergdoll was previously a board member and past president of the Sports Field Management Association (SFMA).

Bergdoll, originally from Madison, Ind., gained his first industry experience on the athletic fields at Hanover College. Bergdoll attended Purdue University, working on the athletic fields and golf courses there while earning his bachelor’s degree in turfgrass science. He went on to earn his master’s in sports and recreation administration from Western Kentucky University.

For the past seven and a half years, Bergdoll served as the director of park maintenance for the City of Chattanooga in Tennessee. Bergdoll also oversaw the construction of the Elizabethtown Sports Park in Kentucky and has worked for the Indianapolis Indians, Baltimore Orioles Spring Training and National Polo Center in Florida.

“We’re honored to welcome James to the ATS family,” said Brian Winka, vice president of sports turf at Advanced Turf Solutions. “He’s someone many of us have gotten to know through our industry involvement over the years, so we’re excited to work with him more closely now.”
