Geddes founded Plank Industries, formerly KDP Investments, the private holding company of Kevin A. Plank – the founder, Chairman and CEO of Under Armour, Inc in 2012.

Port Covington will consist of 13 million square feet of offices, retail and residences on 260 acres. Plans currently include a new Under Armour headquarters, a whiskey distillery, a light rail spur and pedestrian friendly walkways.
