Todd May
Chairman and Chief Executive OfficerTodd May, his husband Dusty, and their two dogs Paisley and Sofi, have been proud Edgewood residents since 2016. They relocated to Edgewood from Midtown Atlanta seeking a quieter, more spacious, in-town residential community to plant their roots. Todd hails from small-town New England in the Berkshires of Massachusetts. He moved to Atlanta in 2010, seeking a bigger city experience, but over the years has grown to value the feel of a residential neighborhood resembling that of his youth.
Todd boasts over a decade of advertising/marketing experience that includes numerous years managing global teams and navigating organizational politics to accomplish personal and professional goals. Currently, Todd manages digital advertising for Healthgrades (www.healthgrades.com) and previously held similar positions at The Weather Channel/IBM and Everyday Health. In recent years, Todd has become interested in local politics in an effort to promote change and growth in his own community.
In his spare time, Todd enjoys travel, entertaining/dining out, and cooking. In his role as President, Todd looks forward to working with community members, finding ways to partner with the APD and other organizations, and seeking additional community resources to promote safety and security for all residents in the Edgewood neighborhood.
