Career
Anderson shared similar ideas to other industry figures, some of whom became his mentors. Some of his mentors included Peter Walker, affiliated with the team involved in the World Trade Center Memorial project; Richard Haag, famous for his Gas Works Park project in Seattle; and Laurie Olin who, in the 1980s, served as the head chair of the landscape architecture program at Harvard University. Anderson also had special interest in the work of both Robert Smithson, an influential artist of the 1960s and 1970s, and James Turrell, a contemporary artist who focuses on light and space.
In 1981, Anderson received his Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from Washington State University. He then continued his studies at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design where he earned his Master of Landscape Architecture degree in 1985.
Anderson currently teaches as a Visiting Associate Professor at Arizona State University with upper-division Landscape Architecture students, along with his own firm internationally.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
