There are 2 types of people in Baltimore —
Those who know Yong,
and those who will know Yong.
The Legend
Yong is that rare human who shows up everywhere — and makes everything better by being there. Part community architect, part accidental celebrity, part committed flamingo scholar. He helps organize the Mayor's Annual Christmas Parade, does space outreach, spins the mic as a karaoke DJ, bleeds orange and black as an Orioles super fan, models, collects pink things, and somehow knows your cousin. Equal parts Forrest Gump and Ferris Bueller. Baltimore's most connected man.
"I didn't set out to know everyone in Baltimore. I just kept showing up — and Baltimore turns out to be a city with a very large heart in a very small zip code."
Baltimore's Most Connected Man
From musicians to scientists, community leaders to celebrities — the people who make Baltimore the city it is, and who make Yong the man he is.
Press & Media Coverage
When Baltimore talks, Yong's name comes up. Features, interviews, shoutouts, and stories from across the city's press and media.

A curated look at the moments, events, and adventures that make up a life very well lived — and very well connected.
The Baltimore Web

Where Two Worlds Meet
Baltimore is a small city with a big network — and Yong is proof. The Smalltimore Live Project is a social connection platform turning that reality into an interactive map of who knows who across the city.
