Howdy

My name is Ataman Billor but I like to go by Ato.

I was born in Adana, Turkiye in the spring of 1996 to two loving parents, Nedret and Zeki, and a wise older brother, Denizcan. My parents are both talented researchers and academics and my brother is a skilled electrical engineer. In 2002, we immigrated from Turkiye to the United States. And shortly thereafter, to small town Auburn, Alabama where I spent my formative years.

I am fueled by my passions. I have always excelled at the things I have loved. I successfully enriched communities that I have been a part of and organized intentional action and communication as a form of altruistic engagement.

“How can I align my personal growth with my contributions to the enrichment of our environment”

• Wind Turbine Technician

• Regenerative Agriculture Farm Hand and Private Chef

• Academic Research Assistant

• Hospitality/Food and Beverage (BoH & FoH and Manager positions)

• Indoor Rock Climbing Supervisor/Route Setter
