Gachina Landscape Management, located in Menlo Park, Calif., hired Chad Sutton as the organization’s new water resource manager.

Sutton brings 14 years of experience in business development, sales and operational management. He spent the last six years as a water conservation sales manager in San Rafael, Calif., where he created a division focused on irrigation efficiency and conservation.

Working alongside General Manager Craig Van Dorp, Sutton will develop water conservation programs based on district regulations, industry standards and Gachina’s bay friendly practices in the coming years.

“I am extremely excited to join an organization with the reputation and heart of Gachina,” Sutton said. “I can’t wait to start supporting the company’s environmental stewardship objectives of reduce, conserve and recycle.”
