Baltimore Artist, Photographer, Filmmaker

​

My artistic vision finds its purpose in revealing those small, brilliant moments often overlooked within a larger story. Whether through photography or film, I strive to elevate the hidden details and unique narratives that resonate with viewers. I'm the lead photographer at Maryland Leaf Magazine, based in Baltimore, MD.

​

My journey started in the late 80s, capturing the energy of the skateboarding, punk rock, and underground hip-hop scenes. In college, history and guerrilla marketing became my focus. I found myself not only playing in a touring band for almost a decade, but also delving into the world of digital audio engineering for a burgeoning dot.com.

​

A passion for promotion and production led me to co-found a company with a talented group of creatives. We brought in DJs and indie acts, orchestrating events with a focus on exclusivity and curated experiences. This honed my experiential branding skills, skills I now apply to Maryland Connoisseur – a brand that connects with its audience in a way similar to a band with its fans.

​

A decade in a wireless wholesale distribution business sharpened my commercial photography, marketing, and website design expertise. These skills were invaluable when I launched Maryland Connoisseur as a branding experiment, an experiment that flourished as the state's legal cannabis program blossomed. I recognized the potential to build a local media company specializing in connoisseur lifestyle branding within Maryland's cannabis and CBD wellness community.
