It’s “Team Member Thursday”, and this week we are introducing Andres Lopez who joined LMP in 2003. We caught up with Andres to learn a little about his journey in the green industry:

How long have you been in the green industry? I began my career over 18 years ago, and am very proud to have spent the past 17 years with LMP.  I have worked my way up from performing landscape services in the field as a member of a crew to becoming a Production Manager.  In this role, I am able to teach others what I have learned about landscaping and ensure that LMP’s services exceed the client’s expectations.

What do you like about the green industry? Every day is a new challenge.  Although there are common issues that occur when maintaining commercial landscapes, there is always the opportunity to meet a new challenge head on.  To me, this is how an individual learns and grows.

What designations or certifications have you obtained? I am working on obtaining certifications related to the fertilization and pest control side of the business.

What interesting hobbies do you have? I like to spend time with my family, and I love playing soccer.

What is your mantra or catch phrase? Why? Do your best; even on those days when you don’t feel like it.  If everyone does their best then the team not only performs better but becomes stronger.
