Brian lives in Florida with his wife and daughter. Starting from a young age, Brian fell in love with the world of fantasy. His debut novel, Ohlegan's Treasure: Search for the Runes was inspired by a love of JRPG's and a thirst for adventure.

When he’s not writing, Brian enjoys drumming with his nineties rock tribute band, playing flag football, pub trivia, and taking his two dogs to the beach.
