An Atlanta native, I grew up in Chastain Park, graduated from The Westminster Schools and The University of Georgia with a brief year at Vanderbilt University in between! My early career involved special event planning and National Advertising Sales both for a gift magazine and The Atlanta Journal Constitution. In 1997, I decided to go into real estate. My father, Edward Chapman, had been president of Chapman Realty Company, a commercial real estate firm, so I thought it a natural choice. That was 26 years ago!
