Subsequently, he built and ran the Recruiting, Screening, Assessment, and Selection Pipeline for US Marine Corps, Special Operations. Upon leaving the service, he wrote, directed, and produced the WESTERN FRONT, a Tribeca Film Festival selection scheduled for release in late 2013.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
