As with most businesses, one of the most important assets are the employees and the Turf Care Center at Lake View is no different.

We are very lucky to have the following people on our team.

Kevin has been with Lake View since 1979 and continues to prove himself as an extremely valuable employee. With over 100 pieces of equipment to maintain and repair, Kevin never lacks for something to do. Self taught, Kevin has an inherent ability to diagnose and correct almost any problem he encounters. I would rank him among the best in the arena of Golf Course Equipment Technicians.
