Kevin Plank has, to put it mildly, a demanding day job. He is the founder and CEO of Under Armour, and, just 20 years after he was selling shirts out of his grandmother's basement, his company ranks as the eighth-fastest-growing firm in America, with 12,000 employees and projected revenues of nearly $5 billion this year. At this rate, it should end Baltimore's Fortune 500 drought within the next couple of years. In and of itself, that rags-to-riches story (and to be clear, we're talking sweat-wicking, microfiber rags) merits recognition. But in 2016, Mr. Plank showed what it means when an entrepreneur of his skill, daring and ambition focuses not just on his company but on his community. In ways large and small, this city and state will never be the same because of what he accomplished. He is The Baltimore Sun's 2016 Marylander of the Year.
