Brian grew up in a small logging and farming community, on a non-working dairy farm in the wynoochee valley,
on the southern end of the olympic peninsula in washington state. In an area where there is endless miles of wilderness,
Brian drew much of his songwriting inspiriation from his suroundings. In the rainy confines of the Northwest, Brian
spent endless hours in his room listening to the radio and discoverng new music . When he was 12 years old his
grandfather, found Brian a guitar in a dime store and he would learn to play the music from artists like Garth Brooks,
James Taylor, Alabama and Jim Crocce . He had won numerous talent compations and played several shows and events
by the time he was eighteen.After he graduated from high school he started working three jobs to fuel the dream he'd had
since he first heard the sounds of country music come through his radio ,and earned enough to make his move to Nashville.
When he was Twenty he bought a pickup truck and rented a uhaul trailer and drove the 2,457 miles to Nashville. The first year
in Nashville was a blessed learning experience with the help of some amazing musician Brian was able to nurture and develope
his craft and discover who he was as a songwriter, and a musician. In a town where dreams are made with hard work,Brian's
Dream's were realized when he became a full time musician, in the summer of 2006. Brian spent very little time in the music city,
spending the majority of his time on the road playing from florida to virginia and all throughout the southern states.In the
fall of 2007 he was introduce to the Sure-Fire Music Publishing company, and he became a staff writer in the spring of 2008.
Since signing Brian writes and plays his music, in Nashville and on the Road and he looks forward to the future and the
oppourtunies it will bring.
