Welcome to Episode 116 of the Reel Turf Techs Podcast! We’re diving into the whirlwind journey of Brian Harper, Equipment Manager at Pendleton Golf Club in Fredericksburg, VA. Pendleton, an 18-hole public facility, serves as the backdrop for Brian's unique story.

Get ready for a tale straight out of an 80s movie as Brian takes us from life on the road with a rock band to delivering furniture and mixing drinks in the Florida Keys. But Brian flipped the script, choosing early mornings and sunrises over late nights and neon lights.

Starting as an irrigation tech and assistant superintendent, Brian had his "aha" moment when he realized the mechanic avoided weekend work – a revelation that led him to his true calling and the freedom to spend more time with his wife, son and daughter and time to pursue his creative passions.

Join us for a lively discussion on managing parts budgets, the importance of the turf technician community, and the intriguing discoveries spotted on trail cams around the course.

In his downtime, Brian enjoys making music, fly fishing, and even squeezing in some bass fishing over his lunch break. And don't miss his latest outlet – stand-up comedy!

Tune in as Brian shares insights into operator training and the secrets to his success in the turf industry. It's an episode packed with laughter, connection, inspiration, and a touch of nostalgia.
