I help business-large and small elevate their brands, amplify their initiatives, and shine a spotlight on their products or services. From real estate tours to tutorials on installations to customer testimonial videos-- Audrey Barnes Media crafts each video to elevate your brand and your business. How about an informative video that simplifies complex insurance or estate planning scenarios? Or perhaps you have a product you designed and you need a video to unveil it? My favorite recent win was having a client use a video we made for her to land a position helping survivors of Cancer and Parkinson's thrive through exercise! So rewarding!

It's nice to meet you my friends! Health and wellness has been a key part of my identity since I was 16 years old. I started wrestling and track & field in high school and sharpened my knowledge of physical fitness during my 20 years in the Army (Proud Veteran!). As a husband and father, I have continued my proficiency in new wellness habits to maintain my healthspan through 100 years old (future centenarian here!). I have incorporated and mastered healthful practices as a way of life.   I am grateful for the health I have been able to maintain but not everyone gets dealt the same cards. I have watched loved ones suffer from poor health and addiction. Borne from these challenges is my desire to help people gain access to every opportunity to experience the richness of life in this moment and for as many moments as possible. Wellness encompasses every facet of our being, including sleep and rest, nutrition, physical fitness, and mental well-being. Wellness originates from within us and shapes the goals we create for ourselves. Honing these practices requires us to be deliberate and intentional. Only then can we bring them together into an overall condition of well-being on our own terms. Aura Massage invites you to join our community where we strive for the highest level of health and wellness we can gift ourselves. We can do this, together. I can't wait to meet and work with you on your journey just as I have successfully worked with countless others.

Essential Family Chiropractic was started in 1999 by Dr. Eric Lindsell. Dr. Lindsell and his staff offer a complete range of chiropractic care in Columbia, Maryland and physical therapy services focused on providing natural health care without drugs or surgery. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments to correct misalignments (called subluxations) and restore proper function to the nervous system. This helps the body to heal naturally. Chiropractic doesn’t use drugs or surgery. Instead, a chiropractic spinal adjustment uses the application of a precise force to a specific part of the spinal segment correcting the misalignment. There are many studies showing the benefits of chiropractic care for headaches, neck pain, low back pain, acid reflux, dysmenorrhea, ear infections, infantile colic and many more issues.

If I weren’t getting paid to help people in the way that I do, I would still find a way do it. Creating a lifestyle that seniors can enjoy is allows me to be a part of a story and legacy worth telling. As the Director of Sales, at Brighton Gardens of Columbia, I exude the highest levels of hospitality to visiting families, guests, and professionals. I welcome curious inquirers into my community as if it were my own home. My life is all about making people feel comfortable, appreciated, and heard.

As the lead UX Designer and head of operations at Mays, K.C. Mays brings much more than a high level of website development and design skills to the research and development table. He brings a passion for researching and discovering the newest Internet and website technologies, and then leveraging the power of these new ideas to give Mays clients a competitive advantage in their industry. As a designer, K.C. is also a visionary, a big picture person among a mass of detail conscious, left brain driven programming minds. It is this “big picture” approach to website development that separates K.C. and the Mays Development Team from their colleagues in the industry. K.C. leads a team of highly motivated, experienced, and talented website developers, Internet marketers, and designers by fostering a positive and productive work environment that encourages creativity, collaboration, and innovation. In the early 2000’s, K.C. was one of only a handful of website developers in the country to begin building mobile-friendly “responsive” website designs that automatically scaled and adapt to different devices from widescreen desktop monitors to smart phones. A revolutionary approach at its inception, this mobile-first approach to website development is now an essential part of web development. A prolific video and presentation designer, KC has transformed the ho-hum website home page slide show into pure “wow,” introducing each client’s product or service with engaging animated stories that also include precision brand messaging.

An award-winning designer and writer, Ken Mays brings over 40 years in communications, graphic design, advertising and publishing to the Mays Creative Team. After spending the last 25 years as an entrepreneur, Internet & online marketing innovator and successful business owner, Ken is a proven leader in today's most advanced digital communications technologies. His company, Mays & Associates, was a web development pioneer, developing its first website in 1995 in the early days of the World Wide Web. Since then, Mays has taken a leadership role in digital communications, introducing businesses in the Washington/Baltimore market to the power of dynamic websites with content management systems. In fact, Mays became one of only a handful of companies nationwide to begin building "responsive" websites that automatically adapt to every device, from desktop computers to iPads and smartphones. As a Creative Director, Ken has built brands from the ground up as well as giving old brands new life in a wide variety of industries including real estate, law, computer technology, IT, biotechnology, science, medicine, arts & entertainment, food retail, men’s clothing, skin care, foot care, communications, publishing, government, manufacturing, automotive, healthcare and education. His extensive skill set includes corporate branding, corporate logo design and slogan development, corporate collateral design, and the development of creative strategies for products and services. Ken's early career as a journalist was spent in the Baltimore/Washington market where he served as editor of the Towson Times at the age of 24 and then as managing editor of a daily newspaper in Arlington, Virginia, The Northern Virginia Sun. Mays left the Sun in 1974 to join an ambitious publishing startup, The Columbia Flier. He was hired by the Flier for both his writing and design skills. In addition to covering the Maryland State Legislature, he became the first design director for the publication, separating it from the other newspapers in the market by giving it a unique magazine style look and feel. Ken spent over 15 years at the Flier which later became Patuxent Publishing Company (PPC), one of the largest publishers of newspapers, magazines, and community telephone directories in Maryland. He served on the executive management team as director of marketing and promotions. While at PPC, Ken started and ran A.D. Adverting Associates, an in-house advertising agency. Major clients included Whitney Communications in New York City and the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Celebration Committee. The agency created the print collateral announcing the first Martin Luther King Jr. holiday on January 20, 1986. He left PPC in 1988 to take Mays & Associates full time, first as a traditional advertising agency and finally as a digital communications firm, specializing in corporate branding, website development and online marketing. Community involvement has been an important part of Ken's life. He has taken an active role in a long list of non-profit organizations including board positions on the Howard County Chamber of Commerce, The Howard County Sesquicentennial Committee, The American Marketing Association (Baltimore Chapter), YMCA, American Heart Association and the Patapsco Valley Heritage Greenway. His non-profit work includes 25 years with The Columbia Festival of the Arts and design projects for The Columbia Foundation and Howard County Special Olympics. He also spent 15 years as a Boy Scout leader. Ken received a HOWIE award from the Howard County Arts Council in 2011 for his work with The Columbia Festival of the Arts. Ken holds a B.S. in Journalism from The Pennsylvania State University.

Welcome and thanks for visiting! It’s my mission to connect you with choices that help you live a healthier life, and a better one. Please let me know if I can assist you, in any way! Forty years after entering the work force Sullivan Brown Sr made a career change that would benefit him not only professionally, but personally. The twenty-one-year veteran of the US Army and nineteen -year high school teacher retiree was suffering two health conditions, cancer and Type II Diabetes. His doctors told him he had to lose weight and change his eating habits. This advice led him in a different direction, not only physically, but mentally as well. After hearing about Shaklee, the number one natural nutrition company in the US that has been helping people become healthier for now over sixty plus years, Sullivan was eager and intrigued to get involved. He knew it would not only help his health conditions, but it was also an opportunity to help others by sharing his knowledge. Being a Shaklee Distributor allows me the opportunity to help others in all fifty states and the six other countries where Shaklee operates. Sullivan said Shaklee products are helping people live healthier and better lives. Every time I travel I meet people with health or financial concerns. Shaklee is a vehicle that can make positive change in many lives, and my plan is to continue to help as many people as I can during my lifetime. As an Independent Distributor Sullivan shares his experiences, teaches about the nutritional products, beauty and skincare, biodegradable concentrated home care products, and a weight management program designed to stop the yo-yo dieting effect while preserving muscle necessary to burn calories. Shaklee products are SAFE, they WORK, and they are GREEN. We also have youth nutritional support. We also have pre and post-natal care for expectant mothers. Noting that all of Shaklee products have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Customers will get their money back if they are not satisfied with no questions asked. There is nothing more rewarding then sharing products that you stand behind, and for Sullivan that is certainly the case. Since joining Shaklee in 2004, Sullivan has been cancer free, and have kept the weight off too. Sullivan is no longer dependent on medications for diabetes. When he isn’t working the business, he bowls several times a week, and loves playing golf. He also enjoys traveling throughout the states. One of his favorite places to visit is his hometown of Melville Louisiana where he grew up. Sullivan is also a life member of a number of organizations, including the American Legion, Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association, Disables American Veterans, Retired Teachers Association of Maryland, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, ans Aesop Robinson Golf Association. A proud husband and father. He and his wife Betty have two sons. Sullivan Brown Jr who is a graduate of Towson University with a degree in computer science. Bruce W. Brown is a graduate of Southern University with a degree in mathematics. They are both married with children of their own. I hope to be remembered as a person who served his country, family, and anyone who needs my help. You can contact me by using the information above. I am committed to helping anyone live a healthier and better life.
