Excited to get started on the next 2 years! @VTTurfgrass @VT_groundscrew
The 2026 @VTTurfgrass Research Field Day kicks off at the turfgrass research center on a glorious 52 degree morning in Blacksburg. @AvaVeith and @dhens_2 kick off today's program discussing their sports field research projects at Penn State and VT.View quoted post on X
As a kid, I dreamed of working in sports, but I never knew it would get me here.
I’m just a 24 year-old kid from southwest Virginia that got a chance to take on a big city and grow grass for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It’s been quite the ride! GO HOKIES🦃 #worldcup #hokies

The best there is!
People usually laugh when I say I “professionally grow grass”
This week, that job brought me to the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final.
Every long day, late night, and 20k+ step was worth it.
Turns out, “professionally growing grass” can take you to the biggest stage in the world!🌱⚽️View quoted post on X
