INTHYIBham | Scott Pierce

Scott Pierce keeps himself pretty busy around Birmingham, AL. Nowadays when he’s not doing his day job serving as director of technology at Intermark, he’s spearheading two inspiring projects that are helping not just himself, but his adopted city and others see their true potential – WhyBHM? and #asdbhm.

He spoke about one of the projects as the last presenter at TEDxRedMountain on May 19 – and he spoke with us about both of them earlier this month over coffee at Urban Standard.

INTHYIBham | Edwin Marty

Edwin Marty took some time to talk with us last month about starting Jones Valley Urban Farm, what it’s meant to the greater metro Birmingham area and what’s next for him as he steps down this month.

One thing has changed since this video was originally shot; it was announced on May 5 that Marty will become the executive director of the Hampstead Institute in Montgomery, AL this summer.

Congratulations Edwin and good luck; Birmingham will miss you!
