Ron Wilson   Co-Founder / CEO

Ron Wilson has been in the golf industry since the day he was born.  After receiving a degree  in Business and Computer Science from Clemson University in 2005, he went to work for his family’s business, a manufacturer and distributor of golf products.  

Within five years, Ron became the Director of Operations for the company with the majority of his focus spent developing systems to automate and improve day to day operations and increasing the overall bottom line.  

In 2016, with the support of this business, Ron started Turf Assistant with the vision to create a single operating platform to help golf courses and other turf related businesses automate their own day to day operations and realize the same financial outcomes that he had shown success with in his previous role.

Al Wilson   Co-Founder / CEO

Al Wilson started out life as a teacher and football coach.  It wasn’t until the mid 80’s that he decided to go into business for himself.  As with many entrepreneurial journeys the destination was somewhere he never expected.

In the early 90’s Al started a pumping systems manufacturing business in the golf market.  Quickly that expanded into distribution into the same market he was manufacturing for.  

Through the success of this company, he co-founded Turf Assistant with his son Ron.  The two love working together daily to solve problems that businesses in the turf space face.  Al is still active in his day to day role with Turf Assistant’s parent company and sits as head on the advisory board of Turf Assistant.

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Alex Borzo   Customer Support / Project Manager

Copywriting and editing have been my bread and butter for more than a decade, both as a career and a passion. These creative skills come together in my portfolio of print materials, digital marketing and even whole websites—instead of hiring a copywriter, web developer and designer, clients just work with me.
The need for vision in marketing has been enormously rewarding as I’ve stretched my wings in all-things-content. I’ve written and consulted my way across 40 different industries since starting my creative firm, and the ever-present sense for the “bigger picture” has served me well.
My time at Turf Assistant has been well spent with an endless list of opportunities to learn and grow more in this space.
