He\u2019s lived in the City of Atlanta for 17 years. A web developer by profession, he started an amateur study of urban design after being shocked at how difficult it was to safely push a baby stroller to get groceries on Ponce de Leon Avenue. Blogging about that journey of study and discovery led to co-founding an urbanism advocacy nonprofit called ThreadATL. He has been engaged with Atlanta urban activism and various partnerships with the city, on initiatives aimed at creating a better and more inclusive urban environment.
