MEET THE TEAM

At Thorpe Landscapes, we're a family of dedicated professionals who are passionate about creating beautiful, sustainable outdoor spaces. Our team's commitment to quality workmanship, exceptional customer service, and innovative solutions has earned us a reputation as a leader in the North Carolina landscaping industry.

 
 

Daniel Thorpe

 PRESIDENT

Few organizations are lucky to have a leader as dedicated as Dan Thorpe. Starting the company 12+ years ago with just two employees, Dan has always had a passion for helping others solve problems—no matter how complex. And this desire to help others isn’t limited to his staff and clients. Fun fact about Dan? If he could, he would foster 100 dogs!

 

Anne Beck

VICE PRESIDENT

Our trusty Vice President, Anne Beck brings a fervor and drive to the Thorpe Landscapes team that inspires excellence across the entire organization. But her skills aren’t limited to leadership and landscaping. She’s also got an impressive knack for slalom skiing and a special hidden talent for impersonation. Her Batman impression once won 1st place at the Indiana County Fair!

 

Ethan Saxton

ASHEVILLE DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS

A true asset to the Thorpe team since he started with us back in 2018, Ethan Saxton oversees the day-to-day operations of our Asheville, North Carolina location. With a background in horticulture, Ethan’s expertise in all things plants and top-tier management skills have served the team and our clients well over the years.

 

Garrett Lee

ASHEVILLE DIRECTOR OF ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT

When it comes to customer satisfaction, Garrett Lee is the grand master. As Director of Account Management, Garrett ensures our Asheville, NC clients have nothing short of an exceptional experience from project start to finish. In addition to his work for Thorpe, he takes pride in being a father (and the fact that he can operate an excavator better than Pablo).

Brian Bagot

WILMINGTON DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS

With a whopping TWENTY years of experience in logistics and operations, we couldn’t have found a better man to serve as our Wilmington Director of Operations. Ensuring our Wilmington branch exceeds customer expectations, this Annandale, Virginia native is a true master in the landscaping industry. Oh, and he’s also a semi-amateur racecar driver!

Daniel Massie

WILMINGTON DIRECTOR OF ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT

One of those guys who gives his all in everything he does, Daniel Massie has only ever had THREE jobs in 22 years of work. And he’s spent the last 16+ years fine-tuning his skills in the landscaping industry. Outside of work, you’ll find Daniel fishing, camping, or otherwise enjoying the great outdoors. In fact, he was the Casting Kid National Champion in 1997.

 

Jeff Hinson

WILMINGTON DIRECTOR OF ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT

Another master of landscaping, Jeff Hinson brings 15 years of experience to the Wilmington, NC Thorpe Landscapes team. A true family man, he and his wife of over 30 years have two grown sons, a pit-husky mix named Stella, and a cat named Meowza. When Jeff’s not going the extra mile for our customers, he’s playing saxophone and singing with his band, North Tower.

Micah Peterson

LANDSCAPE DESIGNER

A genuine Wilmington native, Micah Peterson is one of few locals with family roots in the area dating back over 100 years. Time Magazine’s official “Person of the Year” in 2006, Micah’s unrivaled dedication to excellence in North Carolina landscape design is only matched by his deep love for his spouse and three terrific children.

Timothy Hill

SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER

You wouldn’t believe it if you met him, but before he started with Thorpe Landscapes, Timothy Hill hadn’t touched the landscaping industry with a ten-foot pole! Prior to joining the Thorpe team as project manager, he spent four years in the Marines and worked relentlessly for the Rocky Mountain Fire Department. Talk about a man with dedication!

 

Georgette Ahneman

BOOKKEEPER

Although she might not have inherited her Great Uncle’s psychic powers, Georgette Ahneman sure has a magical way about her when it comes to organizing and managing the books at Thorpe Landscapes. Hailing to us from Kansas City, Missouri, Georgette is a devoted Chiefs fan and grandmother to three.

Dani Lopez

PROJECT ESTIMATOR &PROJECT MANAGER

Born and raised in central Massachusetts, Dani Lopez moved to Wilmington in 2019 to pursue her career in construction. When she’s not helping make the world a greener place at Thorpe Landscapes, you’ll find Dani painting Bob Ross-inspired mountain landscapes or relishing nature with her two pups, Bee and Teddie.

Ryan Brown

DIRECTOR OF MARKETING

Coming to us all the way from Texas, Ryan Brown plays a critical role in maintaining our company’s stellar reputation in Wilmington, Asheville, and beyond. A few fun facts about our marketing maven: He has a twin sister. And he was once bitten by a squirrel! (Luckily, his job keeps him out of prime squirrel territory MOST of the time.)
