Author Name
George Toma (Author)
I began writing for a small, weekly newspaper in Deerfield, Wis. at age 13. This led me to freelancing for the Madison Capital Times, graduating from Wisconsin-Eau Claire and working for daily newspapers in Wisconsin, Arizona, California and Florida. After writing for newspapers for more than 40 years, I've focused my attention on book writing. The topics have ranged from collaborating with an Irish storyteller to optimizing mental performance to developing and building nonprofits. In May, 2024, I published a book on groundskeeper George Toma, who worked the first 57 Super Bowls. I'm currently collaborating with two self-made millionaires on how they became entrepreneurs and lessons they're sharing with future business leaders.After living in Southwest Florida for almost 25 years, I moved to St. Petersburg, Fla. with my wife Isabel to be closer to our daughter Izzy, who is a school teacher. Son Daniel lives in Delaware.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

The Sodfather chronicles the 80-year career of George Toma, who many consider the greatest groundskeeper of all time. George rose from hardscrabble beginnings in the anthracite coal region of northeastern Pennsylvania to manicure sports fields in stadiums and ballparks all over the world.

While doing so, he brought attention, respect and honor to a profession. In many ways George Toma became an artist.

Green grasses and artificial turfs were his canvases and Super Bowls his masterpieces. "Nobody alive can carry George's shovel," former Kansas City Chiefs general manager Jim Schaaf said.

George has two creeds. The first is a work ethic where one gives his best effort - "and then some.

" The other is that the best insurance for an athlete is a safe playing field. George's insistence on safe fields created a conflict at times with the NFL and he gives his views as only he can - to the point with no punches pulled.

If you treasure people who dedicate their lives to a craft, this book is for you!. .
