  Chip Dizard

  I’m an entrepreneur with a passion for all things technology and media. I graduated from Coppin State University in Baltimore, Maryland with a degree in Media Art/Communication, and discovered my love for web design in 1999 after I created a web site for local nonprofit organizations in the Washington, D.C. area. I’ve helped numerous organizations build an online presence. I also have a love for education, and after working as the General Manager of Baltimore City Public Schools Education Channel 77, I currently teach media production for the school district.
