About Our Company

David Pickens

Sales & Marketing Manager
David is a digital marketing professional based out of Frederick, MD, passionate about film and the great outdoors. Growing up in a small town in western Maryland, David frequently sought adventure in the surrounding landscapes with his friends and was inspired by the directors he'd come to love. He would find ways to express his creativity early on by writing short stories and producing stop-motion films with a small point-and-shoot camera gifted to him by his grandmother. David's father was a dedicated conservationist who instilled a deep respect for the environment and wildlife in his son. This would later play a pivotal role in driving David's enthusiasm for hiking and backpacking through Appalachia. 
As David grew up, he deeply resonated with the idea that the only way to truly capture a moment in time was through the still frame, and began to photograph his journeys from the vibrant city of New Orleans to the beautiful, glittering shores of Bar Harbor.

After graduating with a degree in Advertising and Electronic Media & Film from Towson University, David would make a name for himself in the home services industry, working for both growing and enterprise companies. He considers his two pillars to be design and data, and he utilizes these skills in website development, graphic design, automation, business intelligence, and paid advertising.
