Drew Garcia

Vice President, Landscape Group Leader

While a professional baseball player, Drew began his career at Rancho Mesa during the off season. When he wasn’t on the field, he was learning the fundamentals of the insurance industry. After his playing career ended in 2015, Drew transitioned into a full time career at Rancho Mesa with a sole focus on the Landscape Industry.

He is now endorsed by the National Association of Landscape Professionals.

Drew grew up in San Diego’s East County. When he is not at work, you will find him hanging out with his family enjoying all things outdoors. Drew and his wife Lauren have two children and their Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Amiga.
