They hold workshops on Producing, Distribution, Camera technology, etc. It has helped people realize their own vision and has inspired many productions around the world.

As a volunteer, he has helped restore Life Enrichment Bookstore, consulted Africatown’s Media Team, assisted in the launching of Rainer Avenue Radio, taught production classes to the youth and elders of the community, and is now attending classes at Evergreen State College Tacoma branch where he plans to finish with a bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts and continue for his Master's in Business and ultimately pursue his Doctorate. He is confident he will remain persistent and diligent in this endeavor with the right support.
