With more than 25 years of experience, he has created transformative parks, civic spaces, healthcare campuses, and destination environments across the United States and internationally. His work has been recognized with numerous industry honors, including the Award of Excellence in Sustainability from the Los Angeles Architectural Awards through Los Angeles Business Council (LABC), a Merit Award from the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) for park design, and most recently, recognition as the 2026 North and South America Regional Winner in the Pro Landscaper International Awards. 

 At Futurescape, Jerico will share the vision and design journey behind South County Regional Park, a 100-acre regional destination park in San Joaquin County. His presentation will explore the master planning process, community engagement, multidisciplinary collaboration, and strategies for balancing recreation, ecology, and long-term resilience. He will also discuss the importance of planning for the future—designing a regional park today that will continue to thrive as the surrounding landscape evolves into a vibrant urban environment for generations to come.
