"My vision was to one day have enough literary properties to make a new generation of memorable theatrical film and television experiences. I figured the only way to achieve this goal was to start with the story and establish "A Franchise-Factory" story company that creates cinematic and television experiences that exceed viewer expectations. Unique stories would be the order of the day. And craft them to have new and memorable story-lines and visual moments. The overall creative goal of the 'franchise -factory, of course, is to capture audiences thirst for great stories, and in particular our stories."

Under network television and major studio banners: ABC, CBS, NBC, Warner Bros, Alcon Entertainment and HBO, he's worked with a plethora of top-tier industry talent: nominated executives, producers, directors, cinematographers and writers.
