Thank you, @bwelk608 ! #DIFF2026 #DallasFilm #DIFFDallas #DoFilmDIFF

I really cannot put into words how grateful I am to be able to go to Los Angeles to meet with studio executives and show why Dallas is the place to film. I’m so grateful for my incredible boss’ transformative leadership. And you can’t go to LA without being a tourist and finally seeing the Griffith Observatory, accidentally create an incredible band photo of a real initiative (lead single dropping eventually thx Jeff), and commemorating Griffith with some special people in a way that’s forever unique. To Telescope!

Experienced my first ever TIFF and had a wonderful time eating all over Toronto, seeing Jordan Peele, and getting studios/producers to consider filming in Dallas. #poutine #filmdallas

Happy 3 years to my wonderful spouse @skylerflorvas Thank you for sticking with me during my horrible beard/hair combo

A sign of life from me. Here’s the 2025-ish year in review featuring the @texastheatre marquee Here’s to 2026 with more marquees, more extremely cool events, and more from the best job in the world.

Went back to Seattle, broke my glasses, saw the best people (and dogs), and had a lot of coffee.

Happy birthday to the most beautiful, sweet, caring, and incredible spouse. She deserves the world.

Spent the past week in Cincinnati at a conference. Saw George Clooney, explored a beautiful city, learned so much, and made some incredible friends along the way.
