Who We Are

Rocket Firing Productions, LLC is a Maryland-based event company run by collectors, for collectors. Our name tips its helmet to a certain bounty hunter’s jetpack—we’re here to launch great experiences, not just run the clock.

We produce family-friendly toy, trading card, and pop culture expos across the Mid-Atlantic. From the Maryland State Fairgrounds to the Fredericksburg Convention Center and the DoubleTree Annapolis, we create spaces where you can hunt for vintage figures, score that card you’ve been after, meet fellow fans, and share the hobby with the next generation.

Whether you’re into Star Wars, Transformers, Pokémon, sports cards, or a bit of everything—we’ve got an event for you. No bounty too big, no collection too niche.

Leadership Team

Three owners, one mission: run great shows and keep the community at the center of everything we do.

Kristian Kuhn

Finance, Advertising & Technology

Kristian keeps the engines running—budgets, ads, and all things tech. When he’s not crunching numbers or wiring up our systems, he’s probably deep in a collection spreadsheet or a Star Wars rabbit hole.

Mark Ryan

Logistics & Suppliers

Mark makes sure every show lands on target. From venue logistics to vendor relations and supplier coordination, he’s the one ensuring the right pieces are in the right place so you have a smooth, fun experience.

Heather Meadows

Head of Marketing & Creative

Heather leads our look, voice, and outreach. She’s the creative force behind how we present our events to the world—so what you see and hear from Rocket Firing Productions is clear, inviting, and a little bit geeky in the best way.
