My artistic vision is all about uncovering those subtle, yet brilliant moments that often get lost in the bigger picture. Whether I'm working with a camera or a film set, my goal is to bring those hidden details and unique narratives to life, creating visuals that resonate with viewers on a deeper level.

From Punk Rock to Pixels

​

My journey began in the late 80s, capturing the raw energy of the skateboarding, punk rock, and underground hip-hop scenes. This early immersion in counter-culture fueled my passion for authentic storytelling. In college, I dove into history and the unconventional tactics of guerrilla marketing, eventually finding myself touring with a band for nearly a decade while also exploring the world of digital audio engineering at a burgeoning dot.com.

The Art of Experiential Branding

​

Driven by a passion for promotion and production, I co-founded a company with a group of talented creatives. We brought in DJs and indie acts, curating exclusive events that focused on creating memorable experiences. This venture honed my skills in experiential branding, skills I now apply to Maryland Connoisseur – a brand that connects with its audience in a way similar to a band connecting with its fans.

From Wholesale to Cannabis Connoisseur

​

A decade in the wireless wholesale distribution business further sharpened my expertise in commercial photography, marketing, and website design. These skills proved invaluable when I launched Maryland Connoisseur as a branding experiment – an experiment that thrived alongside the state's burgeoning legal cannabis program. Recognizing the need for sophisticated branding in this emerging market, I built a local media company specializing in connoisseur lifestyle branding within Maryland's cannabis and CBD wellness community.
