THE BROOKLYN WAY
CO-CREATOR & EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

The Brooklyn Way is a 6 episode series that aired on the FUSE Network. The show begins with a look back to 12 years ago when Michael "Kaves" McLeer and his brother Adam "ADM" were The Lordz Of Brooklyn - a hip-hop group with the world at its feet. They had a big label deal, a world tour and all kinds of buzz. But then tragedy struck, turning their world upside down and pushing their dream further out of reach. Now they're back to take one last shot at making their dreams come true.

MARKED
CREATOR & EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

MARKED aired on the History Channel. The show explores the world of tattoos belonging to modern day tribes that operate at the edges of society, including motorcycle clubs, urban gangs, and hardcore prisoners. We’ll go into the minds of members as they explain what the mysterious symbols decorating their bodies mean on the street, and mean to them personally. Initiation rites, turf wars, and the fierce pride of belonging to an outlaw family are all part of the territory. Tattoos artists and cultural experts will explain the technique and history behind the ink and the groups it adorns, putting the personal experiences of our main characters into perspective.
