This page is reserved for Brian's own words. The about page is the credibility engine — it's where E-E-A-T gets established for Google and trust gets established for the reader. The PRD calls this the manifesto, and the manifesto shouldn't be AI-drafted.
When Brian writes it, the page will run 600–800 words in a single column. Around the midpoint there's a slot for one pull quote in Cormorant italic with the terracotta left border. The closing CTA is the email capture below.
Story elements Brian has flagged for inclusion:
- The 45-minute drive from Knoxville as a kid
- Watching taffy get pulled in the shop window
- The swiss-style shops on the Parkway
- Pancake Pantry on a Saturday morning
- The Ober tram
- Hiking the GSMNP trails — favorites and overrated ones
- UT years (and what they cost)
- Career through HGTV, DIY, Food Network, JTV, Clayton Homes
- Daughter Kate's upcoming wedding at The Trillium in Wears Valley
- Why I've never been inside a Gatlinburg wedding chapel until now — and why I'm going inside all of them over the next year
Pull quote goes here once the story's drafted. One sentence that says the quiet part out loud.
