Thornton Kennedy is a seasoned communications expert, writer, connector, and problem solver. A former journalist and editor, he founded PR South, a boutique public relations firm that helps organizations figure out what they need to say, who they need to say it to, and why it matters. An amateur historian, urban explorer, hiker, and voracious reader, Thornton also writes a weekly column for the Northside Neighbor. He met his wife in a college creative writing class, and they are the proud parents of two children — one attending the University of Georgia School of Law and the other at the College of Charleston.
