Big congrats to on his reelection as Mayor of Atlanta 🙌🏾

Proud to support a leader, and a friend, who continues to show up for the city, its people, and its future. Atlanta’s in good hands. 💙🍑

🎂 11/19 - I filmed this moment so I could remember the sound of love.

The chorus of voices singing Happy Birthday isn’t just a celebration, it’s a time capsule. One day, some of these voices will only live in memory, but today… they’re here, warm and alive around me.

Growing older has taught me this:
nothing lasts forever,
which is exactly what makes everything so beautiful.

🤵🏽‍♂️Last night, I was honored to receive the Mayor’s Technology Leader of the Year Award from the Technology Association of Georgia . 🏆✨

This one hits different. It’s a reminder that community is the real engine behind everything we’re building in Atlanta’s tech ecosystem. From to the many partners, pioneers, and believers who show up year after year, you are the momentum.

2026 is set to be our biggest year yet. We’re pushing harder for technology, culture, and the entire Silicon South movement, and this honor fuels that mission even more.

To my team, none of this is possible without you. Thank you for standing with me, dreaming big, and building boldly.

Atlanta, we’re just getting started. 🔥💜

🚀 Full circle moments hit different.

From walking the halls of Mississippi State University as a business student; to now joining the Advisory Board for the College of Business. 🐾

This one means a lot.

The same place that helped me think bigger, dream bolder, and believe in what could be,
now gives me a seat at the table to help shape what’s next.

At , I’ve seen what happens when you merge culture, community, and technology into something powerful. Now, I get to bring that same energy back home to influence how future Bulldog leaders think about innovation and leadership.

Here’s to giving back, inspiring forward, and continuing the cycle of impact. 💼💡

✨Feel Good Monday ✨

I’ll be hitting the stage at 2025 to speak on Funding Without Compromise: Combining Capital with Creative Freedom.

When I started , I made a decision: no outside investors, no strings attached. Just vision, grit, and community. Fast forward to today, RenderATL has grown into a cultural and tech powerhouse; impacting thousands, shifting economies, and proving you can scale without selling your freedom.

At CultureCon, I’ll be pulling back the curtain on how I did it, what I learned, and how you can build big while keeping your creative control intact.

This one’s for every founder, dreamer, and builder who wants to own their story while still reaching the top. 💡

From day one, my mission has been to lead with purpose and passion; to build more than a conference, but a movement that creates opportunity and shines a light on our region.
