Meet the Team: Gant
Behind every POGO device is a team dedicated to helping turf managers get the most from their data. Whether it’s answering support questions, troubleshooting hardware, testing new software features, or helping shape future product improvements, our team works hard to ensure customers have the tools and support they need to succeed.
Today, we’re introducing one of the people who plays a major role in that mission: Gant, POGO’s Technical and Customer Support Director.
Meet Gant
Gant has been part of the POGO team for seven years and brings more than three decades of turf industry experience to his role.

Supporting Customers Every Day
As Technical and Customer Support Director, Gant wears many hats.
His responsibilities include:
- Supporting end users with hardware and software questions
- Assisting distributors with training and technical support
- Testing new software releases and features
- Contributing to app development and product improvements
- Helping troubleshoot issues in the field
If you’ve ever submitted a support ticket, attended a training session, or worked through a technical question with POGO, there’s a good chance you’ve benefited from Gant’s expertise.
His extensive turf background allows him to understand not only how the technology works, but also the real-world challenges turf managers face every day.
Favorite Feature: GPS Override
When asked about his favorite POGO feature, Gant chose the GPS Override feature.
GPS Override allows users to manually place sample locations when GPS reception is limited or when a precise location needs to be adjusted. This flexibility helps ensure accurate data collection, even in situations where environmental conditions make satellite positioning more difficult.
For customers who frequently work around trees, structures, stadiums, or other areas where GPS signals may be affected, GPS Override can be an incredibly valuable tool.
A Passion for Problem Solving
One of the things that makes Gant such a valuable part of the POGO team is his passion for helping customers solve problems.
Whether it’s diagnosing a hardware issue, answering questions about TurfPro, or helping a new user learn the platform, his goal is always the same: helping turf managers collect reliable data and make better decisions with confidence.
His combination of technical expertise and decades of turf experience helps bridge the gap between technology and practical field application.
Beyond Turf
When he’s not supporting customers or testing new features, Gant enjoys an unusual hobby: collecting carnivorous plants.
His collection includes:
- Venus flytraps
- Sundews
- Pitcher plants
Much like turf management itself, maintaining these fascinating plants requires attention to detail, patience, and a strong understanding of environmental conditions.
