The environmental sustainable greenspace has been my core value in my profession. Throughout my professional career, I feel that I have a well-versed background in this area and am always learning more through my network of peers that I have associated with over the years. Not only have I produced many products for a diverse set of clients but I have also performed research and development for architects, landscapers, and designers throughout the country.

I have worked with peers on international committees, local boards, and through wide range of speaking seminars ranging from the state and local levels, large corporations, and government entities.

I helped bring into the United States a national patent license product called STAYturf. From this I produced and sold the only fully vegetative Turf Reinforced Mating in the market for high flow velocity erosion control, land sustainability, and for sustainable green roof projects.

I have served on an international committee for Royal Caribbean Cruise line where our team designed and performed research to sustain green spaces on cruise ships while at seas for long periods of time voyaging through multiple climates and time zones.

I have experience in the turf and green industry in the wholesale and retail markets and in landscape design for both home owner and commercial projects, athletic fields, golf courses, and government work. I feel I could bring a lot of field experience and continued research and development ability that is always progressing and changing through my networking experience. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity for an interview and explore this opportunity further with you.

Sincerely,

Matt Campbell
