Sanders will promote Terra Novo's highly effective, environmentally sound products to a wide array of clients ranging from multinational firms and government agencies to country clubs and family farms.

We're looking forward to having him on board." 

For his part, Sanders is impressed by Terra Novo's cutting-edge products and forward-thinking philosophy.
