He has been credited with enterprising the Online News Minute, Random Acts of Kindness and Lionel's Tech Tips, which became regular segments on the station.

He oversaw all correspondence between President Clinton and Prime Minister Bellerive and members of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC) while managing logistics for the IHRC including planning of board meetings in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
