Louis H. (Bud) Hearn, III

A native Georgian, red clay in my veins.  Born in Valdosta, GA, nurtured by a small-town ethos and strict farm-work discipline until age 18 in Colquitt, GA, from whence an escape was made to the University of Georgia, Athens, GA, where I obtained a BBA with a major in Real Estate and a minor in English Literature. Diploma in hand, I entered the exciting world of commercial real estate in Atlanta, GA , and for 43 years have pursued real estate investments and developments throughout the Southeast.  I now live on the Georgia coast, in Sea Island.  I am a pianist, a creative writer and an athletic enthusiast...principally running, yogi and biking.
