With more than 150 productions and 15 awards to his credit including 4 Emmy Awards and 2 Cable Ace Awards, Mole´ has produced high-profile events for every sport on every major sports network.

Affirming his status as a true innovator in the field, Mole´ was the first director to utilize multiple and rider-mounted cameras and Flycams to record competition, bringing a new level of excitement to live action sports coverage.
