Brian’s career has taken many detours. He says it’s like him – erratic and confusing.
After graduating from the College of Journalism and Communications at the University of Florida, Brian began his professional life as a sportswriter, but found that too restricting. He also found he did not like sportswriters.
He then sold advertising for a rock radio station which somehow led him to start a concert promotion business that eventually did somewhere between 400 and 500 shows (he lost count).
After spending a year searching for cheap but palatable wines in dozens of Washington D.C.-area restaurants, he became an ADDY Award-winning copywriter and producer for radio commercials and brand music. He also won CUNA Diamond and NWCUA Spectrum awards in the advertising world for creative campaigns and marketing communications for credit unions.
For twelve years, he has been the host of the Short Attention Span Storytelling Hour, a monthly literary open mic presented by the Writers of Central Florida or Thereabouts in Winter Park.
He has been a featured presenter at writing festivals, workshops, art exhibit openings, funerals, and farmer's markets. He is currently working on a historical fiction story and a rom-com screenplay while also aimlessly collecting content for his unplanned memoir.
On the days when he remembers to set his alarm, he teaches online classes in the Entertainment and Music Business bachelor’s degree program at the Los Angeles Film School.
