Trust and design: David Martin at TEDxCoconutGrove

In 2001 David Martin had the idea of founding a property business that did more than simply build things. As the President, Co-Founder and Owner of Terra Group, David and his team have redefined the South Florida skyline and, by extension, the way in which people live. David holds a Masters Business Administration and Law degree with a concentration in land use planning from the University of Florida. David has led Terra Group's operations, sales, and marketing initiatives, and oversees international and domestic investment and development projects, working in partnership with government agencies, businesses, and educational and cultural organizations. With more than four million square feet of residential and commercial space under development, including Grove at Grand Bay, GLASS, and Atlantic 15, Terra Group continues to evolve the way in which people live and work, creating new and innovative ways for the urban landscape to engage and enrich people's lives.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
