As of 2011, he is currently involved in producing and writing a new science fiction TV series for Syfy called Seeing Things.
In a 2012 interview with the Penman Review, a Southern New Hampshire University newspaper, he explained that, when writing, he begins with the story, not the characters, and builds it along the way. Later that month, in another interview with givememyremote.com, he revealed how Person of Interest producers Greg Plageman and Jonathan Nolan "like to keep the audience guessing" and that the writers also "like to take the show in surprising places".
