Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Cator attended the College of Charleston, where he majored in French, and later the American College in London, where he graduated with honors with a Fashion Marketing degree. 

In 1999, Cator moved to New York City, where he worked in beauty and fashion PR. This experience led to his transition to a full-time journalist in 2008.

Most recently, Cator was the Editor-in-Chief of TheManual.com from 2013 to 2018. He then wrote for Architectural Digest, Departures, Bloomberg Pursuits, and 1stDibs, to name a few, until he transitioned into life coaching.

Cator finds writing about design, travel, grooming, and men’s style the perfect way to continue educating himself and his fellow man through everything from trips to Scotland to explore the mills of Harris Tweed to poking around well-designed homes around the globe for inspiration and story ideas. 

Cator has been featured for his own dandified style in Ike Ude’s Style File, The Daily Telegraph, Stylelikeu.com, and in Bill Cunningham’s section of The New York Times, Evening Hours.

After 20 years in NYC and 12 years in Charleston, Cator returned home to Atlanta to relish the culture and queer community this magnificent city has to offer.
