Hello, I'm John Vinson, the Turfgrass Agronomist at The Mill. I work closely with Golf Courses, Lawn Care Operators, Contractors in the Turfgrass Industry, Homeowners and The Mill’s retail team with anything involving Turfgrass Management.  Raised in Bel Air, MD and having a Business Management degree from Towson University and a degree in Turfgrass Management from the University of Maryland College Park. I’m passionate about everything involving Turfgrass, I am a Class A member of the GCSAA (Golf Course Superintendents Association of America). For about 25 years prior to coming on board with the Mill I was a golf Course Superintendent at a private Country Club. Whether it is developing an agronomic plan for a golf course or helping a homeowner achieve an outstanding lawn, I love helping people with Turfgrass! Outside of work, you can find me at an UMD basketball or football game, fishing the Susquehanna, gardening, just being outdoors or playing basketball. I look forward to helping everyone achieve their needs with anything pertaining to Turfgrass!

I’m David Boniface, One of The Mills Agronomist. This may be one of the best jobs in the world. I get to work with Farmers, Nursery Managers, Turf Professionals and Equine facilities, sharing my knowledge and experiences that help each one succeed while increasing their soil health and decreasing the impact on the environment. I was fortunate to grow up in Harford County and enjoy the rural settings that we strive to save and preserve. After receiving my Agronomy and Environmental Science degree from Delaware Valley College, I became a Golf Course Superintendent for a number of years. The Mill then reached out to me 21 years ago and I continue to this day, making new friends and sharing Ideas to make our community a better place for the future. Family will always be first in my life. Hunting is an obsession, giving back to the community is a must and the friendships that I have made working at The Mill is priceless.
