His debut project Frequent Flyer LP arrived in 2011 with production credits for Chemist and Alias Amazin.

He received recognition specifically for the episode Streets on Lock during that ceremony and earned another Emmy nod in 2018 for the same episode. His television credits expanded to include writing eleven episodes of Atlanta between 2016 and 2022 before he served as story editor for seven episodes.
