Business Plan
Within the next 5 years I plan to have two installation crews covering the state of Tennessee and the surrounding states. I will also have two maintenance specialist that will be specific to small maintenance jobs that will keep a consistent cash flow. In the next five years I would also like our shop to double as a distribution center for Dura Edge products and employ a warehouse team. Investors should invest in me because I have 15 years experience in the sports turf industry. I have been on multiple construction and renovation projects and have traveled the world preforming field maintenance at the highest level of Major League Baseball to little league. I have been a head groundskeeper in minor league baseball for the past 7 years and was awarded the 2018 Midwest League Sports Turf Manger of the Year award and came in a close second place my other two seasons. I would like run my own business for three reasons. The first being that I would like a better quality of life for myself and would like to control my own destiny. The second is that I love this country and know that small businesses are the engine that drive it, and I would love to contribute. The third is that I have a passion for the sports turf industry and would like to use my talents to help the younger generation and teach them a trade that not a lot of people know exists.

Self Identified Competition
Advanced Turf Solutions – Nashville, TN - are a prominent company in the Midwest and are making their way down south. The focus more on supplying product than they do renovation Profile/Southern Athletic Fields - Columbia, TN - are big supplier of athletic field products. they supply infield mix that would be a direct competitor. Sports Fields Solutions - Nashville, TN - are a field construction company that mainly concentrate on large field construction projects and not the small renovation. Severns Custom Sports Turf LLC is different in a couple of ways. While other companies may have experience, they don't have experience at high levels. I have spent the last seven years protecting signing bonuses of professional players so I know pressure better than my competition. Another reason is that I will be certified to install Dura Edge Engendered Soils. They are the competitor of Southern Athletic field. Dura Edge is in 95% of all professional baseball infields, which is the big selling point. After extensive conversions with Dura Edge, I will be the main certified installer for the state of Tennessee and the surrounding states. I have a close relationship with them that has been maturing for years. my competitors will not have that edge, in a short time they will only sale product if a certified installer is able to install the product in order to protect its quality. I will also be authorized to sale a product called soil scout, which is a wireless soil censor system that will save clients 50% on water usage and fertilization. I will be the sales representative for athletic fields in the United States. I am very talented and have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to this industry and I am ready to help myself and others grow.
