Was filmed as part of Discovery Health Channel's series Babies: Special Delivery (episode: Fragile Lives) - the episode still airs on a rotating basis from time to time on The Discovery Health Channel.

Worked on various independent film projects (acting to storyboarding) and was included in a feature article in Cinemagic magazine on The Perfect Robot Baby. I also worked in front of the camera (uncredited and mostly unseen) in several film and TV productions including: Robocop, Promises to Keep, Paint It Black, Santa Barbara (the soap opera) and a commercial for Freixenet (sparkling wine) in Spain.
