I've been a Buford resident since 2010. My wife, Betsy, and I have two boys, Brady (10) and Baylor (8). Both are students at Buford City Schools. We have a dog named Bo. I work at a local digital marketing company called Veugeler Design Group, which has been in the Tannery Row Building in downtown Buford for more than 14 years (www.vdgatl.com).
