He has lent his talent as an illustrator to a popular children’s book titled “Oliviatown,” architectural guides, nonfiction books, and other published pieces – the majority of which feature Georgia and Columbus. Pound is active in the Columbus community as a lifelong parishioner of Trinity Episcopal Church, lending his voice as a proud member of the choir. He gives his time and talents to various art organizations, most recently as a board member of the Columbus Museum and the Columbus Symphony. He is especially proud of his close association and work with the Historic Columbus Foundation. Pound has served on the board in various capacities for 40 years, is a past president, and is now Director Emeritus. 

Additionally, Pound has personally invested in and renovated 13 historic properties in Columbus’ original Historic District, including a former synagogue that he transformed into a vibrant art studio. He was named the featured artist for the 2024 Steeplechase – an annual fundraiser for the arts, is a past recipient of the Sarah Turner Butler Award for Historic Preservation, was the 2021 honoree for Columbus State University’s Broadway Ball benefiting the university’s dance program, and was featured in the Amazon series “The Story of Art in America.”
