Developed and sold this show to Discovery. Worked on the pilot as everything from director to specialty shooter to editor. Loved being hands throughout the entire process on for this epic adventure show.

Worked with the talent to develop this hybrid scripted/doc show based on the book You Suck at Drinking. This soft scripted format was a collection of comedic sketches that were full of takeaway. We averaged at least 10 locations per episode and nearly all required extensive art and set design.

I found the talent, developed the concept, sold the project and directed every single episode of this hour long series for the Esquire Network that was essentially "Top Gear for beer".

I found the talent, developed the concept and sold this critically acclaimed dramatic docuseries that Vanity Fair said, "...was the reason that reality TV exists."

Started as the DP of this series but had such a good report with the talent, Jeff Mauro, that he asked to have me direct the remaining episodes of the series. I also oversaw the entire post process on this show and edited several scenes myself.
