Fact: Over 95% of the directed episodes in the history of Rocketboom were directed by me.
Fact: I have edited well over 50% of all of the episodes.
Fact: I have Produced every single episode.
Fact: I have Published every single episode.
Fact: I have found/picked over 90% of all of the stories that we have ever used.
Fact: Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk.
