Paddling for a Purpose

Paddling for a Purpose

  • Joe Motz
  • The Motz Corporation

This is a story about the evolution of the Evergreen® business I founded in 1977, The Motz Group. It is also a story about me and my personal journey as I approach the end of my career and the next phase of my life. As I suspect might be true for most Evergreen founders and leaders, the two journeys – the professional and the personal – are deeply intertwined.

Motz is a Natural & Synthetic Turf & Field Construction company. We create and supply infill products for outdoor spaces where people move, play, and compete. Our team is also driven by Purpose, which is reflected in every aspect of our work. At Motz, we move people to better lives. As the company has grown over the years, we continue to intentionally partner with businesses and organizations that align with our purpose.
