Congratulations to the Newest TCNC NCCTP

Austin Fletcher is TCNC’s newest NCCTP – congratulations! Austin loves learning new things in the industry and strives to get better every day. He is certainly accomplishing that with his new designation.

“My inspiration in getting into this line of work started when I was a junior in high school and was working on a golf course part time as a greenskeeper. I was learning the trade,” Austin explains. He then went to GTCC in Greensboro to get a Certificate in Turfgrass Management.

“After getting my certificate, I started working full-time for the golf course. I worked there for five years until accepting a new landscaping job for the City of Lexington, North Carolina. I have been with the City for almost five years.”

We see bright (green) things ahead for you, Austin! Congratulations on your milestone achievement.
