His own onset of OCD came in his late 20s.

He was commissioned by the International OCD Foundation to make the first dramatic educational film about a child with OCD, "The Touching Tree" (available on Amazon).

Other films include "The Risk," a film about OCD and the family; and "Hope and Solutions for OCD," a four-part lecture series with OCD professionals.
