Bio
Ian Bosserman
Chris was great to work with. Organized and efficient, he was able to keep all of the elements of complicated community development projects together both aesthetically and economically. With his background in Landscape Architecture he managed to weld the concepts of green design and New Urbanism together. His communications were always well thought-out and effective and his leadership ability was evident in every meeting I attended with him.

Ask anyone who has worked with Chris Schooley, either as a coworker or as a client/consultant, and you are sure to find high praise for Chris. In a profession filled with too many self-promoting consultants and landscape architects with stars (and dollar signs!) in their eyes, Chris is a refreshing exception. He is calm, cool, and collected, and yet Chris possesses an incredible creativity and design talent. Coupled with this creativity, however, is a level-headedness that belies his farm-boy roots. Simply put - Chris has the talent to design for New York's Central Park and a disciplined approach to project management and client value that would make your grandfather proud!
