Georgia Trend magazine, for the 19th year in a row, has identified 40 Georgia professionals under the age of 40 — including two Savannah residents — as representing the state’s best and brightest.

The magazine says this year’s honorees represent business, government, politics, nonprofits, science, healthcare and education and were chosen from nominations made by readers throughout the state.

Final selections were made by the Georgia Trend editorial staff. The full list of winners is available at georgiatrend.com.

Here are the two Savannahians and what the magazine’s writers had to say about them:

Brad Harmon, 38

Attorney, HunterMaclean

When Brad Harmon was young he wanted to be a Jedi, he says with a laugh, but in college he became interested in law, and in law school he was drawn to business law. His proudest accomplishment professionally is “helping my law firm grow and by extension helping our clients and businesses grow, which in turn helps the state of Georgia grow.”

In 2012 Harmon joined other partners to form HunterMaclean’s Logistics Practice Group, bringing together various clients and internal practice areas to more effectively represent clients in this vital and growing industry in Georgia. He also spearheaded the first Savannah Logistics Lunch in partnership with the Georgia Center of Innovation for Logistics.

He’s active in his community as well, serving on the boards of the Savannah Technical College Foundation and the Live Oak Public Libraries Foundation.

Lori Judge, 39

Founder/Broker, Judge Realty Inc.

Lori Judge founded Judge Realty, a boutique firm offering residential, commercial and rental real estate services in Savannah’s historic district, in 2005. A champion of environmental integrity, she is a certified EcoBroker, currently converting her offices to power solely from solar energy.

An avid supporter of Savannah’s arts scene, last year she launched the Judge Realty Permanent Art Collection. She has offered her building façade as a canvas and aided nonprofit SeeSAW in obtaining sites for popular murals. She’s also involved in other local nonprofits including Boys and Girls Club of Coastal Georgia, Savannah Tree Foundation and more.

“I give back to my community because it gives back to me,” she says, adding that she also focuses her energy on environmental efforts. “My goal is to make our lives better now, but most importantly my son’s life. Leading by example in both my business and personal life is key to making the right impact.”
