==Career==
 
Originally an avid fan who ran an [[anime]] club in [[Houston]], [[Texas]] (known as "Anime NASA") starting in 1985 alongside classmate and AD Vision founder [[David Williams (producer)|David Williams]], Greenfield and Williams met fellow enthusiast [[John Ledford]] in 1992 and the three quickly formed AD Vision, a name later condensed to ADV Films. The company, which began as an importer of anime, marketing primarily to the existing network of anime fans, rapidly expanded and soon had its own dedicated dubbing studios and a distribution network that also handled international marketing, licensing and North American home video distribution for a wide variety of other programming, including non-ADV produced animated titles such as ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', ''[[Robotech]]'', ''[[Hello Kitty]]'' and ''[[ReBoot]]'', and a diverse lineup of live action programming that ranged from Japanese horror and kaiju productions such as ''[[Gamera: Guardian of the Universe]]'', ''[[Daimajin]]'' and the all-time [[Godzilla]] classic ''[[Destroy All Monsters]]''.
 
Still growing, ADV also launched the first all anime television channel, [[The Anime Network]], and a publishing division that distributed the authorized English version of the popular Japanese magazine ''[[Newtype]]'' and Japanese manga.
 
During a nearly 17-year period, Greenfield served first as ADV's general manager, then as a vice president of the company, and was involved with the majority of the company's releases, either as producer or executive producer, until 2009, when ADV ceased actively acquiring new media. By that time, Greenfield had already stepped into place as the front person for two new companies: [[Section23 Films#Switchblade Pictures|Switchblade Pictures]], which specializes in Japanese live-action [[exploitation film]]s, and [[Section23 Films#Maiden Japan|Maiden Japan]], an animation label that began operations with the [[wikt:faux|faux]] [[ecchi]] anime, ''[[Papillon Rose]]''.
 
He continues to write and produce English dubs for new companies and distributors such as [[Sentai Filmworks]] and [[Section23 Films]] via post-production house/dubbing studio [[Seraphim Digital]].
