Ashton Harris

Communications Intern

Hello, my name is Ashton Harris. I'm a husband, father, and lifelong enthusiast of music and food. My musical tastes are diverse, but I have a special love for jazz, rap, hip-hop, and classical music. When it comes to food, I have a deep appreciation for soul food, Creole cuisine, and Alabama BBQ, particularly the unique white sauce that defines the region's barbecue style.

In my free time, I enjoy movies, reading, fishing, and visiting the gun range with my wife, who is my best friend and greatest support. I'm particularly passionate about urban planning and poetry, and some of my favorite poets include Maya Angelou, Langston Hughes, and Dylan Thomas.

I would also like to express my gratitude to Mr. Jeff and the Live It Up Hillsborough Street team for this incredible opportunity to collaborate with such a fantastic organization.
