As Creative Director at Angel Studios, I oversee the development of current and developing new films and TV shows, as well as the creation and production of their video marketing assets, especially during the crowd-funding phase. I am also a screenwriter/director/producer who has worked with a top-5 Hollywood movie director in development. As of January 2024, I am showrunning a new TV series in development, producing a theatrical film, and directing a feature-length documentary. I am the creative responsible for the most successful Poo~Pourri, Beard Club, and Orabrush "viral" video campaigns, earning me the title "Father of Viral Video Marketing." I developed Red Bull's first scripted web series. My clients have tripled annual revenues, and sold hundreds of millions of dollars worth of product. The videos I've conceived, written, produced and directed internationally have been viewed over a billion times.*My ads "Girls Don't Poop" and “Orabrush the Movie—Trailer” are Webby-honored in the branded entertainment categories. "Girls Don't Poop" has won multiple other awards, and is arguably the most successful viral video ad of all time. My publishing company Print Immortal is on its way to disrupting the publishing industry. My book "The Opportunity" has sold over 40,000 copies and counting. I also write, direct and host the "Lightwise" podcast for Angel Studios.
