Board of Directors

Jerry McGough comes from a large, close-knit family of six siblings, raised by parents who deeply valued helping others. His parents exemplified this commitment by founding an annual Christmas party for the International Catholic Deaf Association, an event where every member of the family played an essential role. After 25 years of dedicated service, Jerry’s parents retired from organizing the event, passing their legacy of giving to the next generation. In 2011, Jerry, along with his wife and three sons, embraced this calling and continued their family’s tradition of community service.

​

In 2021, Jerry formalized his commitment to serving others by establishing a Board of Directors and applying for 501(c)(3) status to create the Total Experience Foundation. Guided by the concept of "GRACE," the foundation has become a beacon of hope and generosity, carrying forward the values instilled by his parents. The journey has been enriched by remarkable experiences and inspiring individuals.

​

After dedicating over 30 years to a successful career in the aerospace and technology industry, Jerry retired and became the Founder of Total Turf Experience. He and his wife are proud parents to three wonderful sons, two fantastic daughters-in-law, and three amazing grandchildren—with their family continuing to grow.

Jerry’s life is a testament to the power of family, faith, and service in creating a lasting impact.
