I grew up in Owings Mills, Maryland and am a Baltimore (county) kid. Art was woven into our textbooks and learning materials as kids but seems to be lacking in public spaces throughout Baltimore County and Baltimore City.

I’ve been featured in the hometown newspaper The Baltimore Sun twice. Once for my work in the ORM industry as a startup that I founded with a few hundred dollars and grew to a multi-million dollar business in only a few years. I’ve parlayed some of my winnings into everything from Real Estate, Art, and other entrepreneurial ventures. One thing I’d love for Baltimore to accelerate in is the arts community. The piece that we sponsored to gain awareness in the Baltimore Sun showcases the importance of art and it’s influence throughout our lives.

Maryland has a few known art collectors but Baltimore seems to be lacking overall in my opinion.
