Kevin Ford

CEO
Uplift Maryland

Kevin is a native of Prince George’s County, Maryland. He graduated with a B.A. in Business Administration/Marketing from Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA. Upon graduation, Kevin returned home and earned his real estate license in Maryland and the District of Columbia before working at KW Commercial. Kevin then began working for the Revenue Authority and Prince George’s County’s Office of Central Services.

After parting with Prince George’s County Government, Kevin began working at Mary & Main Medical Cannabis Dispensary. Being a medical patient himself, he saw a void in the market for a clear source of information. After consulting industry leaders, Kevin started Uplift Maryland as a one-stop-shop for navigating the state's medical cannabis program. Since starting, the company has been awarded a grant to develop and implement an education and training program.
