Co-creator of the five part documentary series, Third Candidates. Where we looked at the 2016 election from the angle of third party candidates and election system reformers to learn about what keeps insiders in and outsiders out. Rather than learning php in high-school, I picked up Final Cut Pro. That lead me to my first job in NYC editing branded content videos for the likes Bon Appetit and Allure. That was 2007. No one called them branded. For about 7 years I moved into management for a couple media platforms (Blip, Timehop) in the NYC area before moving back to the storytelling side of things.

Third Candidates Documentary: Episode 5, The Road Ahead (Opening Up Our Electoral System)
While Donald Trump stunned the world by defeating Hillary Clinton, a small percentage of political outsiders watched the results to see if they could capitalize on an election season that left few feeling good about the state of politics in the United States. Can incremental growth build towards anything meaningful? How can reformers trying to open up elections win in the long run?
