Dave Buckhout, Neighbor

Dave grew up traipsing through the woods behind Garnet Ridge and Old Post, swimming and skating on Crandall's Pond, playing ball at Lions Field, taunting Ellington fans at THS basketball games, partying at K-D camp, etc., etc. He graduated from THS in 1988, and after receiving a BFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology (Rochester, NY) in 1992, relocated to Atlanta. What was planned as a short stay prior to moving west, turned long-term when Dave caught on with the city's nascent interactive media industry at the start of the wired boom. 

In 1999, he & wife Kerri founded InHeritage, a company devoted solely to website design & online operational development for the historical community & preservation arts. InHeritage fuses a love of history, travel, writing and media development. Through InHeritage, the couple has been privileged to work with small town & county historical societies, state & regional historic sites, museums, preservation artists, an array of historians, authors, educators and documentarians, a national history education organization, and some of the most renowned historical associations in the United States. Dave currently serves as the manager of online operations for the White House Historical Association. 

Dave & Kerri, their cats, dog and squirrel (yes, squirrel) live just outside Decatur, Georgia, "in-town" metro-Atlanta. Dave is still a frequent visitor to Tolland, amazed at once by how much continues to change, while so much - thankfully - stays the same.
