Brian was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, and, after a couple stints in other educational powerhouse cities like Flint, Michigan, and Daytona Beach, Florida, he finally got it right and attended FSU from 2002-2004; graduating with a degree in Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management. While at FSU, he was involved with AKPsi, studied abroad in London for a summer, and started the Seminole Riders motorcycle club. After graduating FSU, he decided to spend a few years in Austin, Texas. But, the lure of NYC was strong, so he left and came to the city for the experience and to give applying to the FDNY a whirl. With a little luck, both worked out fortuitously and he’s currently living in The Village and working as a fireman on the Lower East Side. He was recently tapped to help out with the FSU 9/11 Scholarship, due to his connections in the FDNY. His other interests include walking aimlessly around the city, running, riding motorcycles, and traveling. He misses most about Tally: cheap rent, free pool at Pockets, having dinner and $4 pitchers at Pour Paul’s on Sunday and Monday nights, Gut Boxes, Pub Subs, game days, Jefferson Point pool parties, and it only being $1.50 extra to make a drink a double.
