This experience enabled him to build a great foundation for a career in television and film. Two years later he began to explore other aspects of the filmmaking process, pursuing a position in post-production on the Warner Bros. show “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman”.

Over the series’ 5-year run, he was promoted to Associate Producer managing the show’s post-production department.
