FIELD OF THE YEAR SCHOOLS AND PARKS BASEBALL
Fisher : Everywhere I have been , someone has had a part in my success in this industry . From my brother Brian Fisher in Atlantic City to Bill Butler for the BlueClaws , Dan Cunningham and the staff with the Yankees , Coach Ken Frank , John Curry , Wade Bell-Dublis and staff in Toms River and Fran Cap in Middlesex . Those men helped mold me into the person and sports field manager that I am . When I started working for the public school system , The New Jersey Sports Field Managers Association was very helpful in guiding my transition from baseball only to all athletic fields . Scott Bills , Rich Watson , Brad Park , Don and Debbie Savard , Fred Castensciold , Bernard Luongo , Zack Holm , Craig Tolley , Jim Ianetti , Jessica Phillips and Matt Olivi . Also , when this field was built , they brought in a turf consultant , George Pierpoint , and he is someone I lean on when I have questions . They have all had a major impact on my career . The great thing about our industry is you can always reach out and ask
“ For us at LSU , all the athletic fields that we compete on are all Celebration . So the football stadium , softball , soccer , our practice facilities , Alex Box , they ’ re all Celebration as well . Celebration for us just works and it ’ s a good fit . ”
