Born and matriculated in the Washington DC area, Brian went on to NYU Film School before finding his a day job and a career in utility infrastructure. Well, that and surfing Brooklyn is what kept him alive while writing, and the day job eventually led to an expertise in underground utilities. He's been involved in many subsurface explorations, including a number of urban archeological digs. Some of his published articles have delved into this topic, most notably in Mercator's World, the book Concrete Jungle and in the Tribeca Trib. His talents were called upon after 9/11 as part of the rescue and reconstruction effort at ground zero.

Surfing gave way to his earlier passion of fly fishing, a skill taught to him by his mother, and he has since devoted a disproportionate amount of resources to the pursuit of fly fishing. His home waters are Pocono Mountain lakes, the Delaware and Connecticut rivers, and the Miller's and Deerfield rivers in Massachusetts. American shad and pickerel are specialties, and a number of Brian's articles / photos have appeared in American Angler, Fly Fisherman, Fly Tyer, Mid Atlantic Fly Fishing Guide, Fly Fishing Journal, Fly Fish America, Massachusetts Wildlife, A River Never Sleeps, Outdoor Canada and Rackelhanen Fly Fishing Magazine (Sweden). Some of his shad fly patterns and musings on shad behavior appear in C. Boyd Pfeiffer's book Shad Fishing (2002). Brian has also fished variously through Central / South America and East Africa.

Brian lives in Brooklyn, New York.
