Aris Horticulture, Inc. has announced the promotion of Jeremy McGurk to Managing Director of Keepsake Plants Florida. McGurk replaces Gary Knipe, who retired after more than 40 years at Aris.
“We thank Knipe for a great career, including his service and leadership of the division since 2008,” says Scott Schaefer, Aris President and CEO. “We look forward to Jeremy’s contributions for the future with a focus on supporting and developing a strong management team, delivering industry-leading quality and service for our customers.”
Knipe led the business through many years of change and growth as well as several hurricane recoveries. During that time, Knipe and McGurk worked closely together.
McGurk has more than 15 years of progressive experience with Aris and Keepsake Plants, ranging from sales support, information management, production services, and operations director.
McGurk’s joined Aris in 2003 as a temporary employee in Barberton, OH, in Customer Service, becoming full-time later that year as Product Support Manager and Team Leader, including business process development and system applications and products (SAP). He relocated from Akron, OH, to Ft. Myers, FL, in 2012 to assume his new responsibilities at the Keepsake Plants Florida farm.
