Like most writers, Brian was drawn to storytelling at a young age. His favorite kinds of stories were high adventure, with lots of action and, preferably, monsters. For a long time he developed writing alongside a love of art, even to the point of intending to become a cartoonist as a profession. But sometime after high school he decided he preferred to tell his stories with words instead of lines.
He graduated from Western Washington University in 1998 and then attended graduate school at Florida State University, in Tallahassee, Florida, where he earned his M.A. in English in 2003.
Brian got his first taste of professional roleplaying game writing with a trio of entries in West End Games’ Creatures of Aysle in 1991, followed by the short articles “Machine Magic” and “GURPS Dramatic Card Play” for Steve Jackson Games’ Pyramid Magazine in the mid-1990s. For many years after that he stuck to writing free and fan material for Torg Eternity, Dungeons & Dragons, and Savage Worlds. His next big break came when he was invited to write for the updated Torg Eternity by Ulisses Spiele. From there he has gone on to work full-time for both Pinnacle Entertainment Group and Ulisses Spiele.
He and his wife, Rae, are living a nomadic life with their beautiful daughter, Leilani.
