VIEWER COMMENTS
Jeffrey Abramson,
VP of Film Division at Gen Art
"He is basically one of those types you can throw into
any situation and something interesting will come of it. Ideas
like “davidjr.com goes to Sundance” or “davidjr.com test drives
at Daytona” etc are what get me excited. What’s unique about his
content is his somewhat unassuming first person pov that makes
the viewer feel like they, themselves, are along for the ride."
Andrew Michael Baron: Creator of RocketBoom.com
I watch your stuff many a time. Very good work!

You are so funny! I listen all the first episode and tomorrow,
I'll listen the second, and etc.etc.etc.! I'm from Canada and
I ain't got the chance to see you on MTV so I'll look at you here!
