Over the past decade, I’ve come to realize the complexity and overall difficulty of raising investment capital in Baltimore is a major factor in why many companies fail. If someone decided to run a marathon but had no training or experience, they would likely not finish the marathon. For early-stage companies, raising capital is relatively…
On Thursday, October 6th, 2022, I was formally added as a board member of my community association of 1777 homes. I’ve lived in my house since 2005 and have become more and more involved in the community. As a member of the board, I am responsible for helping to manage the community’s budget and discussing…
I just searched Google with the term ‘famous artists’ and was more than surprised to see that the fifty-one artists displays were all white men, with the exception of one woman, and mostly painters.

This morning, I was watching the Credence Clear Water Revival…
A few years ago, I thought anyone going on a ladder at heights or getting on a roof was crazy. The thoughts that even the slightest slip could cause the person to plunge to the ground and likely die, I don’t like to think about it. But, last week, a neighbor asked me to help…
I just watched this video posted from a police officer venting about not being able to get people to move over when the are driving. The issue here is simple. The officer is frustrated by her inability to communicate with drivers. So, if I were an inventor, I would not just look at this as…
