Turf & Soil Diagnostics (TSD), a leading physical testing laboratory serving the golf, sports turf and landscape markets, promoted Duane Otto to president. In this new capacity, Otto will be responsible for the overall direction and performance of the company.
The company stated that Otto will provide the leadership and direction needed for the staff, company and clients to succeed in the future.
Prior to this promotion, Otto was Turf & Soil Diagnostics’ vice president, performing soil testing and supervision, and providing excellent customer support since 1996. In addition to his new responsibilities, Otto will continue his testing, quality and management functions.
Sam Ferro, who has been TSD president since 2000, will remain with the company as vice president, performing lab management duties and providing support to the president, staff and customers. This somewhat reduced role should allow Ferro more free time for family and other outside endeavors.
