I currently live in Timonium, Maryland but will hopefully be moving to Glen Arm very soon (house under contract, fingers crossed). As a professional home improvement contractor, I have been working in the commercial and residential construction industry literally since I was 10 years old. My father owned a contracting and property management company in Upper Marlboro and I grew up running crews, fixing houses, etc. As soon as I could, I began learning and researching electrical repairs as this segment had always interested me.
In 2008 while completing my masters degree in construction at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Maryland- we had to do a final project (called the practicum). For this, I chose to study solar energy and wrote about ways that commercial investment property owners could implement solar energy on their properties while profiting (you can find that here).
Today, I run 2 home improvement companies, both serving the Baltimore Metro Area.
Baltimore TV Mount: This is a company I formed by accident. In 2008 while working in solar, I was in a training class at a factory. During lunch one session, the instructor explained they had a tv installation section set up (they used to make solar panels in the same factory as tvs). I just bought a tv and had trouble mounting it, so I went to the class and learned the right way to install tvs on various types of walls. Fast forward a few years later- I started a construction tech company after selling the solar company. To make ends meat, I started installing tvs on the side. The tech company never took off but tv mounting did. I enjoy mounting tvs. In fact, because of my experience in home construction in the past and my love for electronics and technology, I enjoy the tough jobs like plaster walls, brick, tile, outdoor, indoor, whatever there is- I really love installing tvs.
Baltimore Car Charger- this company is touching back on my solar energy installation experience. Electric Vehicle car chargers (EV chargers), are actually a lot like solar inverters. Chargers and solar inverters both install on the wall and tie into your electric breaker box almost in an identical way. Plus mounting car chargers is a lot like mounting tvs. I’ve always loved electric cars- when younger my parents took my to DC in the 90’s to view the college solar car competitions that used to take place. Now I am happy to be a part of the industry and helping fuel the growth of electric cars by installing electric vehicle chargers in homes. I am would like to get an electric pickup sometime in the soon (torn between Tesla, Rivian, or the Ford F-150 lightning)- but for now, I am getting a BMW i3.
So this is me in a nutshell. I love working on homes, I love new technology. Whether it is mounting a sharp, samsung, til, or sony tv to your plaster wall in Owings mills, or installing your new Tesla car charger in Cockeysville- I am here to help.
