If you’ve ever seen someone covered in white dog hair and typing frantically in a coffee shop, it was probably Moriah Sawtelle. She’s a photographer, web designer, and marketing nerd with a love for thick serif fonts and scrambled eggs.

Moriah currently runs Moriah Brooke Creative, a photography and website design business that helps makers and entrepreneurs give their ideas a visual reality. She’s also the writer/photographer behind Elle Fait, a blog and community that celebrates makers and creativity. Above all, Moriah is made to help creative entrepreneurs be seen and heard.

She’s a former bodybuilder turned CrossFit coach and national-level Olympic weightlifter, owner of multiple businesses, hobby photographer, podcast host, journalist and espresso connoisseur. Throughout the process of starting her first company, Hey Preslie Nutrition, she fell in love with the behind the scenes work, i.e.: designing efficient systems and implementing creative processes.

This tug on her heart, coupled with recognizing a need in the market for talented entrepreneurs to run their businesses more efficiently to reduce stress and scale their impact, created space for the successful launch of Hey Preslie Creative in early 2019. Picked is a perfectly aligned extension of this mission; creating a platform for other small business owners to have the resources they need to grow and thrive.

Art Wood/Legacy Mortgage Team at Goldwater Bank

Art Wood is not your typical mortgage guy…

With a passion for people and for making things happen, Art takes the mortgage process from what could be scary, overwhelming and intimidating, to a seamless and rewarding experience.

Art wants to be your mortgage guy, and not just the guy that worked on your mortgage. “I believe in getting to know each and every client as family, sorting through available options, and finding the right mortgage fit.”

Art loves to make people happy and he will go out of the way to make that happen. He has been in the mortgage business since 2005, and is currently Branch Manager of Legacy Mortgage Team at Goldwater Bank, N.A., in downtown Tucker, GA.

Art grew up in Tucker, attended Erskine College in South Carolina, and lives in nearby Stone Mountain with his wife Karen and their two young children, Trace and McKenna.

He is the founder of Fuse Networking at Smoke Rise, an active member of the Lilburn Business Association, the Tucker Business Association, and a board member at Smoke Rise Country Club.

Art is also very involved with the community. He leads Sunday worship at Tucker First United Methodist Church (Table 153), and organizes a quarterly event, “Pints and Praise,” to benefit NG3, an organization focused in developing character and providing spiritual growth for high school athletes.

Additionally, Art is one of the main organizers of two acclaimed community events, Taste of Tucker and Tucker’s Chili Cook Off, both benefiting local charities.

It’s all that he does that makes Art Wood who he is: family guy, community guy, and definitely…not your typical mortgage guy.
