He has written, produced and directed numerous and award-winning projects for film, television and commercial advertising during ten years in the entertainment industry. Prior to this Mr. Truitner was at Warner Bros. Pictures in creative development and Walt Disney Feature Animation. He served 6 years in the U.S. Army National Guard, holds a B.A., cum laude, from the University of Minnesota, and completed his course of study in screenplay writing at the American Film Institute in 1999.

He hopes to use his collective experiences of filmmaking, advertising, management, military and arts to create global awareness of the AWF cause and inspire a better future for Afghanistan and its people.
