Board of Directors
Take a look at the amazing board members helping behind the scenes!
Jerry McGough
President
Jerry comes from a large family, with six brothers and sisters. Their parents instilled in each of them the importance of helping others. Their parents were the founders of an annual Christmas party for the International Catholic Deaf Association, where each of Jerry's siblings played a crucial role. After 25 incredible years of giving, his parents decided to retire from organizing the event. In 2011, Jerry, along with his wife and three sons, took up the mantle of community service.
In 2021, Jerry established a Board of Directors and applied for 501(c)(3) status to support their local community. The journey has been filled with remarkable events and extraordinary individuals. The concept of "GRACE" has been a driving force behind the Total Experience Foundation, carrying on the legacy of Jerry's parents.
After dedicating over 30 years to the aerospace and technology industry, Jerry retired. He is now the Founder of Total Turf Experience. Jerry and his wife have three wonderful sons, two fantastic daughters-in-law, and three awesome grandchildren, with their family continuing to grow.
