His MFA at UCLA aired on national television through Ted Turner's WTBS, the first documentary in the U.S. on the issue of elder abuse.

While at UCLA, he also produced a film for Peter Glaws Productions called Pregnancy on the Rocks: Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. He was a co-writer and co-cinematographer on the project. He later established a company called the Aeolian Film Group which optioned screenplays and developed motion picture feature films in a variety of genres. In 2012, he and his wife Judy moved back to the Maryland/Washington D.C. area where both his and his wife's family live. In 2016, he partnered with Roger Alan Stone to establish a production company in the Washington D.C. area called White Rock Pictures LLC.
