About Us: Rich Brown |
Richard was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 1987, he earned a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture degree from West Virginia University. He moved to the Florida Keys to practice landscape architecture in 1987. Richard has been a Florida registered Landscape Architect since September of 1989, when he passed the Uniform National Exam and the Florida section (as required by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation) to become a Registered Landscape Architect.
Richard's strengths are based on his knowledge of flora and the resource management of various ecosystems throughout the state of Florida and the Caribbean. His understanding of environmental issues and his ability to work with both state and local agencies--who regulate environmental laws in the state of Florida--is an invaluable asset to our clients. His ability to artistically and creatively design sites with environmental and cultural restrictions sets him apart from other designers.
Presently, Richard is the President of the firm, Brown & Crebbin Design Studio, Inc., which is located on Plantation Key, in the upper Florida Keys. He is presently active with many groups, both county and state wide, including the Extension Overall Advisory Committee for Monroe County, the ASLA Legislative Subcommittee on Mangroves and the Ecosystem Management Committee for the South Florida Community-Urban Resources Partnership. Richard writes a monthly article on landscaping for a local newspaper, the Keynoter, as a contributing columnist. He is the past President of the Executive Association of the Florida Keys and an active member in the Ocean Reef Business Council, the Florida Native Plant Society, the Key Largo Garden Club and Fairchild Tropical Gardens.
