Television
Thanks to my great partners at The Concept Farm for making my wonderful relationship with the Emmy Awards of New York City possible. In 2004 the Farmers created a concept and format for an innovative weekly magazine show called Cool In Your Code. The show celebrates the neighborhoods and people of NYC. We worked with Mayor Bloomberg's Office to produce and air the show on NYCTV.
We invested agency funds and resources and delivered the same level of quality as the networks on a fraction of the budget. In its six season run, the show was nominated for 17 Emmy Awards, won five and I won three Emmys for on camera work as a host. A pleasant surprise.

Code REaD This interview series celebrates the literary side of New York City.
