MY STORY
For me, photography and filmmaking reach their zenith when used to elevate those small brilliant hidden moments, the little stories obscured within the larger overall picture.
I am a Baltimore MD based artist and the lead photographer @ Maryland Leaf Magazine.
My journey started with skateboard photography in the late 80s, covering the punk rock & underground hip-hop scenes and then history & guerrilla marketing in college. I started a band and was a touring artist for almost a decade while also working as a digital audio engineer for a startup dot.com
I originally started Maryland Connoisseur as a thought experiment to see if I could use my branding, marketing and photo/video/music skills to create a premium cannabis brand. It took off as the states legal cannabis program began to grow and I saw the vast potential to build a local media company focused on connoisseur lifestyle branding with deep connections to the Maryland cannabis & CBD wellness community.
