CAHNRS gave me a scientific agricultural foundation of knowledge to pursue my dream of taking care of baseball fields for all levels of professional athletes — all the way up to the majors. My WSU education made me a better manager, leader, and grower of healthy quality and safe turf. It is truly a foundation I use every day.
