He and his colleagues place an emphasis on creating an environment for teams, producers, and performers to effectively put together exemplary groups of collaborative artists in order for a project to align its mission with its vision. All the while never sacrificing the humanity of the process.

Some recent favorite projects include Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, The Prancing Elites Project, and How You Look At It — a brand new dance short by Wendy Seyb, which amassed awards across the country in various film festivals.  He also worked with Nathan Mitchell and Alexander McQueen/Document Journal on their lauded immersive project for New York Fashion Week (S/S 2017).

He was named one of the "industry players you need to know" by Backstage.
