Atlas grew up in Chincoteague, Virginia before moving to the Charlottesville area in 2017. He has always been a great lover of the outdoors and animals, both pets and wildlife. Growing up he spent most of his time on the wildlife refuge his mother worked at. 

In his free time, you can often find Atlas hiking one of the many trails in the area, painting, crocheting or reading. He is greatly looking forward to working with children in Our Neighborhood, as the values of the school line up with a many of the same ones he holds himself.
