2021 ROOKIE OF THE YEAR award

Davis McDougal - SYNLAWN

Since beginning his career as a Technical Sales Manager with SYNLawn in 2018, Davis McDougal has continually embodied the STC vision of “improving the world through synthetic turf.” Davis embraces every opportunity to meet new people and is eager to share his passion for the industry.

Davis is attracted to high-profile projects that allow him to maximize his talents, so the SYNLawn team was not surprised to learn that he quickly took the initiative to join the Knowledge and Landscaping committees to share only one month after joining the STC his expertise in the synthetic turf industry. In May of 2021, he was awarded a panelist position for the STC Roundtable for Landscape and Synthetic Grass allowing him to share his product knowledge and best practices with fellow STC members. His success on the panel launched the creation of the Landscape Product Quality and Performance Guidelines Committee, of which Davis is the chair.

His ability to initiate change and his passion for the industry inspire others to drive innovation and achieve the best results. Davis’ ambition and enthusiasm have had a positive impact on SYNLawn, and most recently the STC. As a goal-oriented individual, we have no doubt he will continue to create positive momentum for both SYNLawn and the Synthetic Turf Council.
