The record showed the Petitioner received a single notable nationally recognized award in 2008, limited media coverage tied to a single documentary and two music videos, jury roles at two film festivals he organized plus a competition show, and leading/critical roles on various entertainment projects.

The Petitioner's proposed endeavor — creating fuel pellets from wood waste and granulating edible waste — was not shown to have impact beyond his individual customers.
