Served as Florida's State Film Commissioner from 2005 to 2008, appointed by then-Governor Jeb Bush. He led the re-write of Florida's film incentive program, increasing its funding and attracting thousands of new jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars in spending to Florida. He also created one of the industry's first 'green' production plans, and a 'hurricane preparation plan' that lowered a production's insurance costs in Florida after the state was devastated by 4 hurricanes in one year.
