David Ferris is a CLARB certified Registered Landscape Architect in Florida, a member of the American Society of Landscape Architects and the American Society of Golf Course Architects.
With an associate's degree in landscape horticulture from the State University of New York (Morrisville), a bachelor's degree in floriculture and ornamental horticulture (and minor in business management) and a master's degree in landscape architecture from Cornell University, he gained the skills and knowledge required to build a solid foundation for a successful golf course design career.

From 2006 to 2019, David served on the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA)-Florida Chapter Executive Committee. Under his leader- ship, the organization reestablished ties with the state university programs, developed new rela- tionships with the Florida Greenways and Trails organization, promoted the profession through his advocacy efforts and improved the Chapter's support of emerging professionals. He is a past chapter president and trustee to ASLA National.
