David is originally from Tuscaloosa, AL and moved to Nashville in 2001 to play baseball for Lipscomb University.

After graduating and spending a short time in banking, he was ready to fulfill a lifelong dream of starting a business. His appreciation for high-quality turf, shaped by years on the baseball field and his love for golf, led him to start Pure Turf in 2007. Growing Pure Turf into a trusted and recognizable brand has been both a passion and a mission for David. He is dedicated to delivering industry-leading service while also evolving as a leader and supporting the professional growth of his team. When he's not in the office, you’ll likely find him on the golf course or enjoying the outdoors with his family. He and his wife, Paige, are blessed with two great kids, Charlotte and Foster.

When she’s not overseeing company culture (or napping on the job), Millie can be found chasing squirrels, taste-testing treats, or rolling around on the lush, green lawns she proudly represents. Her leadership style? Equal parts charm, playfulness, and an unwavering commitment to keeping things paws-itively fun around here. If you see Millie on the job, be sure to say hello—just don’t be surprised if she asks for a snack first.
