Send us Fan MailSomebody is shaping you, whether you mean to let them or not. That's why this Fun Friday member spotlight hits deeper than laughs, even with plenty of dad jokes along the way. We sit down with Doug Mills, a longtime Lion and the familiar name behind our weekly dad jokes, to talk about what actually changes a man over time. Doug shares his story growing up in a huge family, coming to a real commitment of faith later in life, and how he found our community while looking for help when his marriage wasn't in a great place. From there we get practical: why consistent Bible time matters, how couple's night creates momentum for Christian marriage, and what it looks like when your wife can genuinely see the fruit of spiritual leadership.We are excited to be speaking at Mountain Life Church in Park City Utah on June 20th.  Lock in your spot at this link to register. Our latest plan just released on the Bible App called I'm Just a Guy: Feeling Stuck at Work.

Welcome to The Turf Zone podcast. This episode spotlights Turfgrass Council of North Carolina member Devin McCaffrey. Devin McCaffrey brings a straightforward philosophy to his work as Southeast Territory Manager for Performance Nutrition: help the land perform better while leaving it better than you found it. He works to deliver liquid and dry fertilizers, biostimulants, and a portfolio of plant health solutions spanning agriculture, turf, and ornamental markets. One of the biggest challenges in his work is differentiation. “Showing people what sets us apart from other fertility companies” is something Devin thinks about daily. His answer to that challenge is relationship-driven and focuses on getting in the room with the right people. “Being part of TCNC, and like organizations, aids in meeting like-minded professionals and navigating the industry,” he says. Devin also wants the public to understand something about the people who work in turfgrass. “We do our best to not be careless with what we put into the environment. Most people in the industry are avid hunters, fishers, golfers, nature people, and we want what we enjoy to be loved by generations to come.” That ethos aligns with one of the most encouraging shifts he’s seen in the industry over his career, “Less inputs to grass and a welcome response to natural and organic products, now that people understand them and see them work.” His reason for joining TCNC reflects the same values — being part of an organization that works to teach turf professionals and the community about sustainable turfgrass management. Away from work, Devin carries the discipline of a lifelong competitive swimmer. He swam at LSU. He also loves spending time with his beautiful family.

For years, Janet Schulz has been the voice behind Coffee with the College — asking the questions, guiding the conversations, and keeping the coffee flowing. This time, we turn the mic around. As Janet steps away from her hosting role to take on an expanded leadership position at MyPath, new host Brian Michalski sits her down for one final conversation. And it’s a good one. Janet shares a flyover of her remarkable career — from journalism school at Marquette to VP of Medical Staff Services, COO, patient experience consultant, and now Chief Administrative Officer — and reflects on what five-plus years of podcasting has taught her about leadership and human connection. She also unpacks the “Janetisms” that have guided her along the way: Leaders don’t duck — the pep talk she gave herself before the tough conversations Be gracious in all things — and why that’s a deceptively high bar You’re paid to think, but you earn your paycheck by expressing what you think — a challenge to every quiet voice in every meeting Everything is figureoutable — her 2025 mantra Define, delegate, develop — and why she’s sticking with it in 2026 Whether you’re early in your career or a seasoned executive, this episode is a masterclass in leading with courage, grace, and a good mantra or two. Note: Marie Forleo is the author of Everything is Figureoutable.

Welcome to The Turf Zone podcast. This episode spotlights New England Sports Field Management Association member Ryan Restivo – Parks Superintendent for the Town of New Canaan Parks Department in New Canaan, Connecticut. Read from New England Blade magazine. How did you get your start in the sports field industry? I've always had a passion for sports, the outdoors, and hard work. During high school and the early part of my collegiate career, I worked at a renowned golf course in Darien, Connecticut—Weeburn Country Club. I later joined Superintendent Doug Drugo and his grounds crew, where I gained hands-on experience maintaining high-level playing surfaces. That opportunity, combined with my love for sports, ultimately kickstarted my path into the turfgrass and sports field industry. Where did you go from there? That passion led me to earn a degree in Plant Sciences with a concentration in Turfgrass Management, along with a minor in General Business, from the University of Rhode Island. Along the way, I had the opportunity to work with outstanding teams, including the Weeburn Country Club grounds crew, the Gillette Stadium field crew, and the USGA at both the 2019 U.S. Junior Amateur and the 2024 U.S. Senior Open Championships. Those experiences helped shape my approach to turf management and Parks and Recreation operations. Today, I serve as the Superintendent for the Town of New Canaan Parks Department. Who was your mentor when you were first starting out in the industry, and why? Other than my family and the work ethic they instilled in me, one of my most influential mentors was—and still is—Joshua Bergeron. Josh, who is three years older than me, was a fellow URI Turfgrass Management student and followed a very similar career path in both golf course and sports field management. After graduating, Josh found success on the Gillette Stadium Field Crew before moving on to a different career path. Along with Field Crew Superintendent Jon Bengtson, Josh gave me the opportunity to intern with the Gillette Stadium Field Crew. To my younger self, that opportunity felt like a dream come true; to my adult self, it reinforced the belief that with hard work and the right opportunities, anything is possible. In addition to Josh, I've been fortunate to learn from all of my professors at URI, as well as the many golf course and sports field professionals who have guided me throughout my career. What's the best business advice you've ever received? While it's not strictly business advice, the best guidance I've ever received is a saying I try to live by: “Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” — Mark Twain What is the next “game-changer” you see on the horizon for the sports turf industry? The next major game-changer in the sports turf industry is the continued advancement of automated and GPS-based technology. Innovations such as automated paint machines and GPS-guided sprayers promote greater precision, reduce misapplications, and allow operators to focus more on detail and quality in their day-to-day work. While skilled labor remains essential and in high demand, advanced technology enables sports turf managers to be more accurate and consistent with field layouts and applications. I've had first-hand experience using automated paint machines, and I've seen how they improve efficiency and consistency. What's your favorite / most useful: Equipment? Ventrac 4520 & various attachments Product? Seed Technology? Tiny Mobile Robot Paint Machine What advice would you share with people starting out in sports field management today? My advice is to always ask questions and say yes to opportunities—as long as they're safe. Don't be afraid to ask supervisors and peers for clarification and make it a priority to understand the why behind everything you do. Ask yourself questions like, “Why am I applying this product?” “What is its mode of action?” or “Why am I doing it this way—and is there a more efficient approach?” Opportunities often come when you least expect them, and growth happens when you step outside your comfort zone. If you're hesitant but know the opportunity is safe, go for it. I can promise you that you'll gain something valuable from the experience. Can you share a bit about your family life and / or what you enjoy doing in your free time? Family is everything to me. I come from a big family and am the youngest of three, and growing up, our lives revolved around sports and work. Those experiences helped shape who I am today. I consider myself a pretty simple guy—I enjoy spending time with my fiancée, Elizabeth, and with our families and friends. I like staying active and competitive, even if it's through what I jokingly call “old man sports” like golf, cornhole, and pickleball. I also enjoy work-related and at-home projects. I see them as challenges that keep me engaged, help me continue learning, and contribute to improvements I can apply both professionally and in my day-to-day life. What have you enjoyed most / find most beneficial about being a New England Sports Field Management Association member? The most beneficial aspect of being a New England Sports Field Management Association member is the networking opportunities it provides. For newer members—those with five years of experience or less—it opens the door to the knowledge and insight of seasoned industry veterans. We can all admit that we've made mistakes and learned through trial and error, and having access to experienced professionals allows us to ask questions, learn more efficient ways to perform tasks and make better-informed decisions. That networking also encourages the exchange of ideas, exposure to new technologies, and honest discussions about what works—and what doesn't. It's an invaluable resource that helps professionals at every stage of their career continue to grow and adapt. You have been listening to The Turf Zone Podcast.

Welcome to The Turf Zone Podcast. This episode spotlights Alabama Turfgrass Association member Dr. David Han For more than two decades, Dr. David Han has been a steady and influential presence in Alabama's turfgrass industry. As an Associate Professor and Turfgrass Specialist for Extension at Auburn University, Dr. Han has dedicated his career to advancing turfgrass education, supporting industry professionals, and mentoring the next generation of leaders. His work through the Alabama Cooperative Extension System and the Alabama Turfgrass Association (ATA) continues to leave a lasting mark across the state and beyond. Roots in Science and a Path to Turfgrass Dr. Han grew up in Urbana, Illinois, and pursued his undergraduate and master's degrees at Cornell University before earning his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University. With a bachelor's degree in biology, his early academic path was rooted firmly in the sciences. It was during his time at The Ohio State University that Dr. Mike Boehm, his postdoctoral advisor, helped point him toward the turfgrass industry—a direction that would ultimately shape his career. Along the way, he was influenced by some of the most respected minds in turfgrass, including Dr. A.J. Powell, Dr. Mike Goatley, and several outstanding superintendents such as Todd Voss and Mark Yoder. Their professionalism and approach to the craft demonstrated what it truly takes to excel in turf management. Closer to home, Dr. Han credits numerous Alabama turf professionals as role models, singling out James Horton as “standing out among the standouts.” A Career Built on Service and Education Dr. Han began his tenure at Auburn University in 2000 and has since worn many hats—educator, researcher, Extension specialist, and industry leader. In addition to his academic responsibilities, he serves as Educational Director for the ATA and the Deep South Turf Expo, helping shape high-quality programming for turf professionals across the region. There is no such thing as a “typical” day in his role. One day may involve teaching university students; the next, visiting a golf course, baseball field, or sod farm; and another, leading a workshop or speaking at an industry event. This variety is part of what makes his work meaningful. What does he enjoy most? Simply put: helping people do their jobs better. Whether that means diagnosing a turf issue, interpreting data, or providing practical guidance, Dr. Han is passionate about being a resource for the industry. The greatest challenge, he admits with a smile, is time—there is always more to do (and ATA is always asking for something!). Among his proudest accomplishments are the many successful graduates who have come through Auburn's turf program and are now thriving in their careers. Seeing former students excel in the field is, for him, one of the most rewarding aspects of his work. Industry Evolution and Perspective Since starting at Auburn, Dr. Han has witnessed significant changes in the turfgrass industry. The introduction of automated equipment—drones, robotic mowers, and advanced data systems—has transformed operations. While these tools offer tremendous opportunity for precision and efficiency, he cautions that data is only as valuable as the understanding behind it. “It could be good or bad if you don't know what the data is telling you,” he notes. Looking ahead, he sees both challenges and opportunities for turf professionals in Alabama. Technology continues to advance, expectations continue to rise, and environmental stewardship remains critical. For those just starting out in the industry, his advice is simple but powerful: stay curious, stay connected, and never stop learning. Commitment to ATA Dr. Han's involvement with ATA has been extensive, including his leadership role as Educational Director. Through conferences, workshops, and the Deep South Turf Expo, he has helped elevate educational opportunities for members across the state. ATA membership, in his view, fosters connection, professional growth, and a shared commitment to advancing the industry. The relationships built through ATA strengthen not only individual careers but also Alabama's turfgrass community as a whole. Life Beyond Turf Outside of work, Dr. Han's life is centered on faith and family. He and his wife, Tara, have been married for 26 years and are the proud parents of Jacob, 17, who enjoys aviation and gaming, and Laura, 13, who participates in band at East Samford School. Their home is also lively, with four cats (Dr. Han proudly admits he's a “cat man”). He is actively involved at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, where he sings in the choir and has served as backup choir director since last fall. Much of his free time is spent supporting his children's activities and enjoying the close-knit feel of Auburn—a university town that, despite its growth, still feels like home. The weather doesn't hurt either. Looking Ahead When asked about his goals for the next five to ten years, Dr. Han responds with characteristic humor and heart: “Save the world! Keep people from destroying the world.” At its core, that means continuing to advance Auburn's turf program, promote responsible management practices, and support the professionals who care for Alabama's landscapes. Even as retirement eventually approaches, he hopes to remain connected to the industry that has given him so much. His dedication to education, mentorship, and service ensures that his influence will continue to shape Alabama turfgrass for years to come. The Alabama Turfgrass Association is honored to spotlight Dr. David Han—a leader, educator, and advocate whose passion for helping others defines both his career and his character.

In this episode of CFI's Member Spotlight, we sit down with Alex Murray, a UK-based financial analyst whose path into finance started far outside the typical “cookie-cutter” route.

Send us a textA skeptical young husband sits on a pastor's office floor, reads a passage, and finds the kind of faith that changes a life.

Along the way come cold trains, open-air markets, a tense meeting with the local mafia leader, and the unmistakable thread of provision that follows obedience. The mission stays clear: equip locals to reach their neighbors, trust God over comfort, and measure impact by fruit that remains.Reclaiming the Wild is back — April 24–26 at Abundant Blessings Farm (Stem, NC).
