David Hornung Promoted to Grounds Manager

S.C. Swiderski is proud to have incredible individuals on the team and we work hard to constantly develop new leaders. David Hornung was recently promoted to Grounds Manager. Today, he shares his story and experience here at SCS.

“I started my career at S.C. Swiderski about 3 years ago. Upon being honorably discharged from the US Navy, I returned to Central Wisconsin to pursue my bachelor’s degree at the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point. During my time there, I started working at S.C. Swiderski as a summer grounds laborer. I spent that summer working with some tremendously knowledgeable co-workers - Jake and Joel Erickson. Working alongside them under the direction of Jon Sawicky, I realized that this group of people was an excellent fit for me, and I could see a successful future alongside them.

After completing my degree, I started working full-time on our grounds team. On top of enjoying the core group around me, I was attracted to the idea of working for a family-owned business. I wanted a career where I could surround myself with motivated people working with an impactful company. Throughout my 3 years here, it has been amazing to witness the growth and progress we have made as a team. In my new role as Grounds Manager, I am incredibly excited to maximize our team’s potential, paired with all the excellent businesses we outsource for our snow and lawncare needs. I will ensure that S.C. Swiderski maintains Wisconsin’s high lawn and snow care standards. “David is a great fit for this position because of his knowledge of the position, his vision and his future plans for the grounds department, and his great work ethic” says Jon Sawicky, Facilities Manager for SCS.

As we continue to build remarkable communities throughout the state of Wisconsin, our landscaping designs will work cohesively with the environment to provide our communities with a beautiful aesthetic. As Grounds Manager, I plan to implement and adhere to new maintenance guidelines on our grounds’ assets. I plan to expand our team with the leadership, tools, and attention to detail that makes S.C. Swiderski an industry leader.”
