                     RULE 13a-14(a)/15d-14(a) CERTIFICATION

I, Gary Borglund, certify that:

1. I have  reviewed  this  quarterly  report on Form  10-QSB of  Synthetic  Turf
Corporation of America;

2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact  necessary to make the statements
made, in light of the  circumstances  under which such statements were made, not
misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

3.  Based  on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and  other  financial
information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition,  results of operations and cash flows of the small business
issuer as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4. I am responsible for  establishing  and maintaining  disclosure  controls and
procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e))  [omitted
pursuant to extended compliance period] for the small business issuer and have:

         (a) Designed such disclosure  controls and  procedures,  or caused such
         disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under my supervision,
         to ensure that  material  information  relating  to the small  business
         issuer, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by
         others within those entities,  particularly  during the period in which
         this report is being prepared;

         (b)  [omitted pursuant to extended compliance period]

         (c)  Evaluated  the   effectiveness  of  the  small  business  issuer's
         disclosure  controls  and  procedures  and  presented in this report my
         conclusions  about the  effectiveness  of the  disclosure  controls and
         procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on
         such evaluation; and

         (d) Disclosed in this report any change in the small business  issuer's
         internal  control over  financial  reporting  that occurred  during the
         small business  issuer's most recent fiscal quarter (the small business
         issuer's  fourth fiscal  quarter in the case of an annual  report) that
         has materially affected,  or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
         the small business issuer's internal control over financial  reporting;
         and

5. I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal control over
financial  reporting,  to the small  business  issuer's  auditors  and the audit
committee  of the  small  business  issuer's  board  of  directors  (or  persons
performing the equivalent functions):

         (a) All significant  deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design
         or operation of internal  control over  financial  reporting  which are
         reasonably  likely to  adversely  affect  the small  business  issuer's
         ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information;
         and

         (b) Any fraud,  whether or not material,  that  involves  management or
         other  employees  who have a  significant  role in the  small  business
         issuer's internal control over financial reporting.
