Born in Westlake, Ohio. Brian received a BS in economics and a BA in public policy from the University of North Carolina, where he competed as a springboard diver. His experience ranges from an assistant to the NC Attorney General to CEO of corporations in various industries. His writing voice developed through a climb up the corporate ladder followed by diving off the top into the wilderness of entrepreneurial ventures. Since those early years, he has owned businesses in advertising, manufacturing, and finance, taken a company public and sitting on the board of national and international associations -- all the while writing the Perpetual series. His inspiration comes from his own adventures in life and business, having experienced firsthand that reality is stranger than fiction. Brian competes as a master’s swimmer.  He and his family live near Charlotte, North Carolina.

Isle of Skye, Scotland

". . . I completed the rewrite of Perpetual reSearch on the top of a mountain, on a near desolate inlet called Elgol, on the Isle of Skye, known as the ends of the Earth.  William Wallace (Braveheart) was purported to have camped here hidden from the English. I could almost feel his presence."
