In 2018, he collaborated with the Story Pirates arts education group on The Story Pirates Present: Stuck in the Stone Age, a novel bundled with a creative writing guide for middle graders.[1] Prior to that, his four-book series The Tapper Twins began publication in 2015 with The Tapper Twins Go To War (With Each Other). His first novel was Deadweather and Sunrise, the first book in The Chronicles of Egg comedy/adventure series for middle grade readers.

His film work includes the first two Daddy Day Care films (2003-2007), RV, and The Shaggy Dog (both 2006).
