Meet David Gummo, CTEM, Equipment Manager at Sands Point Golf Club in Sands Point, New York. Sands Point is a private 18-hole golf and skeet club where David manages a mostly Toro fleet, with a few pieces of John Deere and a lone Jacobsen.

David shares how his journey began at just 14 years old in a vocational high school outdoor power equipment program, eventually becoming part of the inaugural graduating class of Penn State’s Turf and Agricultural Equipment program. Now a father of three-year-old twins and an avid gamer, David talks about the unique challenges he faced after making a major geographic move, and how prioritizing physical fitness and mental health helped him thrive in his new role and in life.

From his appreciation for fabricating and working on Takeuchi equipment to his thoughts on shop organization and managing with limited help in the shop, David brings valuable insight and honesty to the mic
