Degrees in Agronomy and Environmental Science from Delaware Valley College would be a great start for a successful landscaping business. But Total Turf’s President, Jason Gordon, started much younger, 13 to be exact. He started working on a golf course in New Hampshire with his uncle every summer until he started college. “I’ve played golf since I was teenager, and still do, but now free time is spent boating, pursuing healthy cuisine, and running a business that I love.”

Jason finds all aspects of running Total Turf to his liking. “Working on beautiful estates and HOA’s, managing landscape projects with multiple disciplines including plantings, irrigation, masonry and maintenance give me such a thrill. Planning where my business will go in the next five years is exciting to me.”

The heart of Total Turf is our Operations Administrator, Gina Pennacchio, who joined our team in 2007. Often the first point of contact and always greeting clients with a smile, Gina is the person who makes things happen.

Gina is deeply involved in the day-to-day operations of Total Turf, providing essential support to our project managers and overseeing daily accounting and human resources responsibilities. Her strong background in accounting and business management, combined with her experience as an entrepreneur, allows her to keep the many moving parts of the company running smoothly.

Since joining Total Turf in 2007, Gina has witnessed and played an integral role in the company’s growth and success. Her dedication, knowledge, and commitment have helped shape Total Turf into the company it is today.

With the energy that comes from raising three daughters, Gina brings organization, experience, and a genuine commitment to both our clients and our team. She holds an Associate of Science in Business Administration and a Bookkeeping Certificate from SUNY DCC.

Outside of work, Gina enjoys traveling, reading, and spending time with her new granddaughter but her true passion is cheering on her Pittsburgh Steelers. As she proudly says, “We bleed Black & Gold in our house!”

Mike Thode joined our team in 2018 as a Project Manager. He came to us with over 10 years of experience in the landscape business. He was born and raised in Westchester and his love for the outdoors began at an early age. Mike graduated from SUNY Cobleskill in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in Ornamental Horticulture. His favorite part of working in the landscape business is sharing his in-depth knowledge of plant materials with clients. Mike lives in Dutchess County with his wife, Katie and daughter, Sienna. When he’s not working, he enjoys camping, hunting and fishing.

You could say turf management started early for Steve Turchick. When Steve was a kid, his dad sold turf equipment, and he had a lawn mowing business. Fast forward, and Steve took that love for turf into a career in golf course turf management after going to college at Cornell University. Steve has spent 40+ years in the golf industry with 27 of those as a course superintendent. Before joining Total Turf, Steve was a consultant/agronomist to several golf courses in China. “At first, I wasn’t sure about Chinese golf, but once I went and played there, I was sold. The Chinese are very serious about their golf and they show it with immaculate courses, opulent clubhouses, and the best caddies I have ever had on my bag, who happen to be all women.” Steve is a “Class A” member of The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, as well as a member of NYS Turfgrass Association, Metropolitan Golf Course Superintendents Association, and maintains an NYS Certified Pesticide Applicators license.

A love for landscaping started at a young age for our Operations Manager, Mario Cofini. Mario came to Total Turf in 2019 looking to advance his career and grow his skill set. While a large part of his time is spent overseeing day-to-day field operations with a focus on excavation, plantings, and landscape construction, Mario also runs the social media accounts for Total Turf. Mario is “excited to be part of a growing team at Total Turf” and enjoys training employees, interacting with customers and vendors, and helping to manage a fleet of vehicles and machinery. On his free-time, Mario enjoys all things powersports and outdoors, spending his summer’s boating on the Hudson River and winters ATVing in upstate New York with friends.

Paul Cofini joined Total Turf in April 2026 as the new Operations Associate. He brings more than two decades of experience in customer success and operational leadership. He’s driven by clarity, efficiency, and building strong relationships, making sure clients feel supported throughout every service. Paul works closely with clients, property managers, subcontractors, and the Total Turf team to ensure every service is delivered with precision and care. With a background in Information Systems and Customer Success Management, he applies those skills to modernizing Total Turf’s internal systems and managing client and property‑management relationships. Outside of work, Paul loves spending time with family and friends.

Ronald Paz joined our team as the Plant Health Care Manager in February 2026. Originally from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, he is an Agricultural Engineer with over 12 years of experience in the field. Ronald is deeply passionate about plant health care and has dedicated his career to promoting the vitality and sustainability of plant systems. For nine of those years, he worked on large-scale industrial farms, managing extensive field operations and a wide variety of crops under both organic and conventional practices. Since establishing his life in New York in 2022, Ronald has continued his work in the landscaping industry, focusing on maintaining and enhancing the health and vigor of residential and commercial greenery through professional plant health care practices. He is committed to addressing customer needs with care and precision, ensuring high-quality service and reliable results. Outside of work, Ronald enjoys outdoor activities with his husband, including jogging, and is an avid swimming enthusiast.

We are excited to have Michael Diano join our team at Total Turf. Michael comes to the team with a BA in Business Administration from SUNY Potsdam as well as a Masters in Business Administration from SUNY New Paltz. Known for being approachable, dependable, and detail-oriented, Michael enjoys supporting clients and colleagues while contributing to the company’s commitment to quality service and professionalism. Outside of work, Michael values time with family and enjoys staying active through sports. A fan of soccer, basketball, and baseball, teamwork and dedication are values that carry over from the field into everyday work.

While Construction Supervisor, Jared LaTour, may have his hands full at home with his son, Lucas and daughter Savannah, he loves his days at Total Turf. Shifting from landscape lighting & irrigation, Jared is now our Celebrity Greens installer. “It’s very exciting to transform a backyard space into a professional putting green.”

Maybe the fact that Jared grew up on a farm in Athens, NY, he still gets a thrill when digging in the dirt on big projects, “especially on jobs that require the use of heavy equipment.” Jared has an AS Degree in Recreational Sports Turf and a BA in Golf Course Turf Management from SUNY Cobleskill.

We are pleased to have Liz Ackley supporting us in the office. Liz came to us in 2016 after graduating her two homeschooled children. She brings decades of organizational and administrative assistant experience to Total Turf. When she is not in the office creating spreadsheets, she can be found walking the rail trail and actively involved in church ministry.
