Most notable professional accomplishments:

• Mentoring with pre-high school and high school students on career choices in the green industry and advising and tutoring of Landscape Architectural candidates for the LARE. After working with so many and seeing their goal of becoming registered Landscape Architects come to fruition, this I feel is a significant and very rewarding accomplishment.

Thoughts on being elected to Council of Fellows:This is certainly a professional honor that I would have not thought possible in my lifetime. I am humbled that my fellow Landscape Architects in the Florida Chapter have felt that my work was worthy of nomination and am even more humbled and surprised that the my work could even be considered in company with that of so many men and women, past and present Fellows of ASLA, who have contributed so greatly to the profession of Landscape Architecture.
