Growing up in his father’s landscape/nursery business, Ted was encouraged by his family to study landscape architecture. Following that advice, he earned undergraduate degrees in ornamental horticulture from the State University of New York, and then in landscape architecture from Cal Poly / Pomona. Ted completed his education with graduate degrees in landscape architecture from FIU, and in landscape planning and ecology from the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University. Ted has provided landscape architectural services in South Florida for more than 35 years. Since receiving his Florida landscape architectural license by examination, he has led his company in the completion of a range of award-winning projects encompassing residences and estates, recreational facilities, mixed-use, commercial and retail sites, office buildings and office parks, streetscape and community enhancements, roadway beautification, and multi-family housing. Ted has garnered more than 30 local, state, and national awards. Ted has served as a gubernatorial appointee on the Florida State Board of Landscape Architecture, is a Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects, has served the Society at a national level as a member of the Fellows Jury and the Honors and Awards Committee. He has also completed service as a member and vice-chair of the City of Miami Beach Design Review Board, and has previously served on the City of Miami Urban Development Review Board, the Miami-Dade County Historic Preservation Board, and the Beautification Committee of the City of Coral Gables. In the spirit of community service, Ted undertakes
a pro bono design project each year for a non-profit group selected
on the basis of need and community impact. The Firm has most recently provided pro bono services to the Ministry of Tourism, Nevis, for
the restoration of the grounds of The Bath Hotel, a 1780 structure
identified as the oldest hotel in the Caribbean Basin.
