My name is Jeffrey Chang, and I was born in Dallas, TX but moved to Atlanta when I was 2, so I’ve pretty much been here all of my life. I went to high school in Norcross, GA, and I completed my undergrad degree at Georgia Tech in Mechanical Engineering. Growing up and going to college in Atlanta made me love the city so much, and I knew I was going to be here for the long run. My wife, and high school sweetheart, also went to Georgia Tech, and once we got married, we were looking around for a new place to settle down. We had been on the Westside before throughout our days at Tech, but when we came back to the area when looking at homes, we immediately knew that it was the place for us. There were so many cool restaurants and breweries that were close, and the future developments that are planned really got us excited about the area. Now, we’ve lived in our home for over a year now, and it’s been the best decision to come to this part of town.
