He graduated from Darlington School and went on to receive a BA in Journalism from the University of Georgia Grady School of Journalism in 1999. He worked in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles on such shows as Roseanne, Cybil, Cosby, and The Young and the Restless before returning to Atlanta to work for CNN.

After living overseas, he moved back to Rome to work in real estate and is currently an agent with Toles, Temple, and Wright, Inc., as well as being the owner of Velocity.
