FieldTurf Tarkett Appoints Bob Monica as South Flo
Montreal, Canada, October 26, 2006--FieldTurf Tarkett is excited to announce that Bob Monica has become the new South Florida representative for the industry's leading sports surfacing manufacturer.
Monica spent 24 years as a National Football League equipment manager with the Miami Dolphins (13 years), Cleveland Browns (seven years) and Jacksonville Jaguars (four years). Among his honors, Monica was named as the 2002 NFL Equipment Manager of the Year.
"We're pleased to have Bobby on board," said FieldTurf Tarkett CEO John Gilman. "His experience at a high level in dealing with players and athletic surfaces will serve him well in this role. As a former longtime NFL equipment manager, he will also be well-suited to assisting other equipment managers in seeing first-hand which surfaces perform the best for athletes."
"After 24 years of preparing players to play on every type of surface in every kind of weather conditions, it is exciting for me to be associated with the greatest playing surface available," said Monica. "FieldTurf surfaces allow the game to be decided based on skill and strategy, and not poor playing conditions. I have been associated with a few championship teams and FieldTurf Tarkett has given me the opportunity to be with another one."
