Burke Scott
Burke met his wife Heather in Smyrna almost 16 years ago, got married at Smyrna First United Methodist Church, had our rehearsal dinner at Bella’s Pizza in Vinings, our wedding reception at Atkins Park in the Market Village, and welcomed our first child here in Smyrna too! Six more kids, two dogs, and several moves later, we’re back in the city where we fell in love, and fell in love with, all those years ago. We can’t think of a better community where we would rather live and raise our family.
Burke has been in advertising for more than 20 years, helping his clients grow their business by connecting them with their “next customers,” and now is excited to be a community connector highlighting local residents and businesses as the owner of Smyrna Vinings Lifestyle Magazine.
