Ruppert Landscape has promoted Dan Flake to Branch Manager of the company’s North Carolina landscape installation branch.
Dan holds a degree in Agricultural Business and Management from The Ohio State University and joined Ruppert in 2017 as a Field Manager in the Virginia Installation branch. Since then, he has steadily advanced within the company, serving as Production Manager, then moving to the North Carolina branch where he took on the role of Operations Manager and was later promoted to Assistant Branch Manager. In each of these roles, Dan has continued to grow as a leader and consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence.
He is a two-time recipient of the company’s Branch Impact Award, having earned recognition in both Virginia and North Carolina, and in 2022, he was honored with the Achievement Award, one of Ruppert’s highest accolades, given to individuals who consistently go above and beyond in performance, leadership, and results.
“Dan brings tremendous energy, dedication, and work ethic to everything he does,” said Dennis Hensley, Region Manager. “He has made a significant impact in both the Virginia and North Carolina branches and sets a strong example for his team. He is detail-oriented and leads with the kind of intensity and integrity that makes him an ideal fit for this leadership position.”
As Branch Manager, Dan will oversee day-to-day operations including planning, budgeting, personnel development, and ensuring the highest level of customer service. The North Carolina installation branch, based in the greater Raleigh area, specializes in large-scale commercial landscape construction projects. Services include estimating and pre-construction support; installation of landscape, hardscape, and decorative structures; irrigation and water management; and full-service project management.
