Frederick B. Stresau was instrumental in why I became a landscape architect. I worked for him as a laborer in 1972 helping him landscape his property in Sewell's Point, Florida while studying Oceanography at F.I.T. He talked to me about landscape architecture and as a result I transferred from FIT in Jensen Beach to the University of Florida. I received my BLA degree in 1978 and went to work for Fred from 1978 until 1985. He was a plantsman extraordinaire. He was my mentor and gave me an outstanding foundation that allowed me to develop as a professional and a landscape architect. We worked together every day for 7 years. -
