JAMIE FOGLE grew up thinking he wanted to be an architect, but during his first year of college studies he realized landscape architecture was more intriguing to him.

Growing up on a dairy farm west of Peculiar, Missouri, gave Jamie roots in the landscape, its seasonal patterns and a curiosity of natural processes. While the systems of architecture were his initial interest as he spent his first year of the environmental design studies program at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, he attended a presentation on eco-tourism by K-State landscape architecture professor Dennis Law. That presentation showed Jamie a profession that could meld architecture, landscapes, economics and social issues into meaningful experiences. He transferred to K-State to complete his degree.

While at K-State, Jamie participated in academic internships with KSU Facilities Planning and HOK in St. Louis. These provided understanding of the varying scales and scopes of the profession. In his last year at K-State, Jamie was vice president of the student chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA). He also received a first-place award in the individual design category of the ASLA national student design competition for an in-fill project focused on providing mixed-use, transit influenced solutions outside of downtown St. Louis.

During professional practice class, Professor Lane Marshall stressed that you should "go where you want to live and a job will present itself." At the end of a spring break trip, Jamie interviewed with several firms in Denver and joined The Norris-Dullea Company upon graduating.

In 1998, Jamie moved to Design Workshop, Inc., where he was primarily involved with community planning type projects with a focus toward land stewardship. During the past seven years, he has since modified this focus toward built work and the implementation of high-end residential gardens, neighborhood parks, and golf courses and resort communities. He became a certified landscape architect in 2002, holds current licenses in Virginia and Idaho, and is CSI certified. Jamie became an associate at Design Workshop in 2003 and is currently working on Black Rock in Idaho, the WISP resort in Maryland, and neighborhood parks within The Meadows and Lowry in the Denver area.

He was involved with two award-winning projects in the past year: the Marshall Residence awarded by Sunset magazine and The Glacier Club awarded by ASLA.

Jamie is married to DeDe, an optometrist who has her own practice south of Denver, and they have a six-month old son, Jake. Outside of work, Jamie finds time to enjoy landscape photography, annual scuba diving trips, hiking Colorado's highest peaks, rock climbing, mountain biking and gardening.
