Jamie founded the production company Lekker Media, in 2006, making comedy shorts, documentary pieces & PSAs for such clients as Publicis/Hal Riney the California Department of Public Health, and Adobe.

While in Amsterdam, he pioneered the theatrical integration of live video and improvisation with Boom’s cast and technical crew.

His work has appeared on broadcast television in Europe and the US, and has been featured on CNN and in Time Magazine.

Jamie was also an actor and writer on the award-winning 2002 short, Dance Machine, and with the San Francisco improv troupe Crisis Hopkins from 2007 through 2012.
