Perseverance around a Passion: A Conversation with local entrepreneur John Kutcher

10/10/22 • 51 min

We welcome as our guest on episode #86 a bona fide prodigy. In 1978, when Baltimore native and Harford County resident John Kutcher was only 13, he could already legitimately call himself a pioneer in software development. An article seen by his mother in the Aegis led to a meeting that sparked young John's interest in computer games. Soon after, he created "Space Taxi," a computer game that became popular enough to help pay John's way through Johns Hopkins University, from which he graduated in three years.
Since his days as a prodigy, John, now CEO of DICORP in Forest Hill, has matured into a successful entreprenuer , pillar of our community in Harford County, and a lifelong baseball fan who sees values learned on the field as translatable to other areas of life. The commitment to those values continues to fuel John's perseverance around his personal, business, and philanthropic passions, including an exciting new partnership with Double Groove in Forest Hill.

From K's to K-9's: A Conversation with Ken Cloude

From 1994 until 2004, Harford County resident Ken Cloude pursued his dream of a pitching career in Major League baseball. On August 15, 1997, that dream got a big boost when Ken won his first Major League game -- against the hometown Orioles with a sizable contingent of Ken's family and friends among the crowd at Camden Yards. Injuries ultimately cut short the bright promise of a long MLB career but this East Baltimore native and graduate of The McDonogh School found contentment and meaning in his new career in law enforcement as a police officer and K-9 handler for The Maryland Transportation Authority. We are pleased to share Ken's story on this episode of Mainstreet!
