He formed the Mhotep Corporation in 2003 as part of transition from information technology of the digital kind into animated motion picture production. Since then the company has expanded its offerings to include games, books, and t-shirts in addition to its online home, Keyamsha.com.

The Mhotep Corporation uses its Keyamsha The Awakening brand as a means to heighten perceptions and expand awareness. By producing content to "engage, entertain and educate" the company creates value for value relationships with its audience for mutual benefit. The name Mhotep is derived from Imhotep, architect and builder of the first pyramid in Sakkara, Kemet (so-called ancient Egypt) who was also Vizier for Pharoah Djoser.
