To Whom It May Concern:

 

It has come to my attention through indeed.com that you are accepting applications for an Operations Manager.

 

As you will see by my resume, I have been in the turf management industry for over 15 years and have a wide variety of training and experience in a number of high profile golf courses. In my current position, I am responsible for the City of Orlando Parks. 

 

In addition to my experience in turf management, I am a son of an Arborist and as such I have an in depth knowledge of trees and their care. I started working with my father at the age of eleven and knew then that I wanted a career in Horticulture.

 

I am confident that my experience and skills would be an asset to your organization and I would be pleased to meet with you to further discuss my qualifications and learn more about this opportunity.  

 

Thank You
