He then created his first podcast, The Digital Media Dude Daily Tip now known as Digital Media Quick Tips which got picked up by iTunes in the Top 25. By late 2007, The Digital Media Dude became officially a network of shows and in early 2008, it was renamed to Pixel Heads Network. Pixel Heads Network was acquired by ProMAX Systems in December 2008.
