Frank Ryan III | Crew Leader: Landscape Construction Department
YEARS AT DAVID J FRANK: 19
EDUCATION/CERTIFICATION: Internal Training
What do you do on a day-to-day basis at your job?
I manage and assist crews on commercial and residential job sites. I make sure projects are done safely, on time, on budget and meet high-quality standards.
How did you arrive at your current position? What was your professional or career path?
I started off by going to college. But after some time there–and advice from my dad–I chose this career path, which was better suited for me. I hope to become a Senior Crew Leader and eventually a Production Supervisor.
What is the best part about your job?
There is such satisfaction turning nothing into something beautiful. My favorite part is seeing the smiles on clients’ faces when they see the finished project.
Brian Romagnoli | Crew Leader: Landscape Construction Department
YEARS AT DAVID J FRANK: 12
EDUCATION/CERTIFICATION: Landscape Horticulture Associate Program from MATC
What do you do on a day-to-day basis at your job?
I run a crew of 2-4 technicians from start to finish on a project. I oversee and coordinate work, make sure it’s completed on time, and under or at budget.
How did you arrive at your current position? What was your professional or career path?
I started with a two-year Landscape Horticulture associate degree from MATC. When I was hired I received training from an experienced team member. Since then, I have continued to use the company’s internal training programs.
What is the best part about your job?
I love seeing a space transform, taking a visual sketch-up and bringing an architect’s vision to life.
