Civitas added Matt Cimino, CGCS, to its expert team, who will be supporting the professional turf team by serving as the senior technical services advisor in the Southern U.S. Civitas recently expanded to the Southern U.S. in fall 2012.

“We’re very pleased to have Matt joining our Civitas team,” says Oriana Persechini, lawncare category portfolio manager, Petro-Canada Lubricants. “We feel his experience, knowledge and professionalism make him a perfect fit for our brand and we’re excited to work together to help grow Civitas across the Southern US.”

During his 17 years in the industry, Cimino gained experience growing and constructing championship-quality courses from Ohio and Virginia to St. Louis and Texas.

“Turf maintenance is my life. As a previous Superintendent, I know the issues, the hours, the schedules as well as the feeling of accomplishment of delivering high quality turf,” says Cimino. “In my new role, I want to help Superintendents in the field overcome their turf challenges and achieve healthy turf they can be proud of. And in my experience, Civitas is the best product for the job.”

As part of his new role, Cimino will be responsible for providing technical support for the southern states, handling golf courses and turf in the warm season region.
