Who I Am and What I Do

My name is Michael Scott Bey. I was born and raised in a suburban town in New Jersey. I was very engaged with the outside environment at an early age. Whether it was going to the park with my friends, playing in my backyard, or skateboarding all over my town, I rarely stayed inside. Since 8th grade, I've wanted to build skateparks. I just didn't know the route to take and what profession to pursue. I later discovered landscape architecture at a career fair at my high school. Since that day, I knew exactly the path to take to pursue my dream. What started as my dream of building skateparks has transitioned to a desire and dedication to integrating humans and the natural environment. I am a graduate from Rutgers University with a bachelor's degree in landscape architecture. After being accepted into the BLA + MLA Dual Degree program at Rutgers, I am currently enrolled in the graduate program and is on track to graduate may of 2021.
