I am currently the Chief Product Officer at Kickstarter.

Previously I was co-founder and CEO of VHX, a platform for selling film & TV online, which was acquired by Vimeo in 2016.

In 2010 I won a Primetime Emmy for my work on Star Wars Uncut, a crowdsourced recreation of the much-loved original: http://starwarsuncut.com

While working at Rocketboom I helped create the Know Your Meme video series and Internet culture database. We sold the site to Cheezburger in 2010.

In 2007 and 2008 I taught the Internet Famous Class in Parsons’ Design & Technology graduate program, the world’s first algorithmically-graded graduate course. Students’ grades were determined by views, followers, subscribers, and other online popularity metrics.
