What I do
Four crafts, one storyteller.
Each of these is a full discipline I have practiced for years. Pick the one you need, or bring a project that needs more than one.
Web design
Story-led websites for small businesses, designed by hand and built on Zucker & Co and Bloks, the site-building platform I created.
EnterAI app development
AI agents that prepare work for a business owner to approve, a browser arcade of 45 games, native mobile word games, and tools that write the email you were dreading.
EnterSongwriting
More than 50 songs and five albums written since I was 18, with Sugardown and The Exclamation Brothers.
EnterSelected work
Selected work across all four.
Films, websites, and apps I have made, side by side.

In practice
Everything starts with the story.
Editing documentaries taught me to listen, organize complicated material, find what matters, and make it clear for another person. That is the same process behind every website, app, and song.
A film that tells it
A website that carries it
An app that puts it to work
A song that remembers it
A launch that shares it
Tools that keep it going
Who I am
Creative Boy, grown up.
I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, where I earned the nickname Creative Boy for a constant outflow of creative energy: performing for my family, building things out of toilet paper rolls, writing stories on the word processor, filming skits with my cousin, and learning how to use a computer.
In 2003 I moved to New York City for NYU Film School and earned my BFA. Since then I have traveled the world with a camera in hand, from Beijing to Haiti, Bonnaroo to SXSW, and the Grammys to the Oscars, filming and editing stories and talking to remarkable people.
Today I live in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, and split my time between documentary work, building websites and AI tools through Zucker & Co, and writing music.
Documentaries allow me to craft a story, and put the puzzle pieces into the right place.
