Summary
Howdy! As a new Texas resident, I feel like I can say that now. I landed in Los Angeles 11 years ago as a medical device salesman. My friends all worked for big-name producers and agencies. It's their stories of financial waste and inefficiency that helped me identify a void in the entertainment marketplace: A company that leveraged remote tech (long before the pandemic) and capitalized on the imbalance of supply/demand labor. Through Riotmaker, I have been able to provide high-end production services at a fractional cost of my competitors by never taking on traditional overhead. My plan is to apply the same model and sensibility to broadcast original content.

- In 2020, I developed the pilot BASIS. My goal is to shift the tone of public debate by providing audiences a friendly, rational discussion between 4 different political perspectives.
