Councilman-elect John Park was sworn in recently as a councilmember for the city of Brookhaven. Park was elected to fill the vacated District 2 city council seat, and will be up for reelection in 2017.

A former software engineer, Park emigrated to the U.S. from South Korea at age six. Growing up mostly in Decatur, he achieved a bachelor’s of business administration from Emory University.

Shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Park left his consulting position with IBM to join the CDC bioterrorism preparation department. Park became a resident of Brookhaven in 2007.
