OPINION: The Coachella Valley Must Confront Water Realities

Like a lot of valley residents, I was born, raised and educated elsewhere – born and raised in upstate New York and educated at Rutgers University in New Jersey.  I came to the valley and decided to stay and raise a family here, because this Valley is home to more than 120 golf courses and I’m a golf course superintendent.  And to be a golf course superintendent in the desert requires one to become proficient in all matters having to do with water – source, access, cost, infrastructure, quality, etc.
