Will began his career at a local municipal golf course, where he developed a deep passion for turf management. After several years at the course, Will made a bold move into the residential lawn care market as an applicator. This hands
on experience provided him with a thorough understanding of the industry and allowed him to quickly rise through the management ranks. Will went on to manage a region serving over 8,000 customers, playing a key role as an agronomic problem solver and ensuring customer satisfaction. His expertise in turf care led to a promotion into a corporate T&O role, where he was responsible for pesticide logistics and regulatory compliance across 13 locations, serving over 80,000 customers in three states.
Throughout his career, Will’s high energy and positive attitude have helped him remain dedicated to delivering the highest quality results and finding solutions that meet both economic and agronomic needs. Will stated, “Custom blending for lawn care is crucial because it offers tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of each lawn. By considering factors like climate and grass variety, custom blends deliver the precise ingredients required for a cleaner, more uniform turf. This approach improves efficiency, reduces environmental impact, and ensures long-lasting results with fewer applications. Ultimately, custom blending provides a more personalized, cost-effective, and sustainable way to create a beautiful, thriving lawn, no matter the location or turf type. I am excited to bring these solutions and results to The Orion Companies’ customers.”
Will resides in Manquin, Virginia, with his wife and two dogs. In his free time, he enjoys hunting and fishing, embracing the outdoors.
