Brian gew up in Dayton, Ohio, attended Cedarville University and then travelled to Scottsdale, Arizona, for seminary. After Arizona Brian and his wife, Jenna, moved back to Ohio where Brian serves as associate pastor at Community Grace working with a ministry called Fusion and leading the creative arts team. They now have three boys, all of which provide enough material for endless literary works.
Brian knew he wanted to write in elementary school. He penned his first mystery novel in fifth grade. It was only a few pages. And it stunk. Brian has since worked for Relevant magazine as church section editor and he currently writes for the Dayton Daily News as a freelance journalist. He's also working on some short stories.

Feb--2009
Wow, I know it's been a while since I've given an update, but here ya go. Just in case you were wondering, I ended up stepping out of my role as Managing Editor with Neue (Relevant Magazine) because it was too much to balance. In the end I felt like I needed to choose between the publishing world and ministry, so, here I am. Although I am still doing some freelance writing for Neue (study guides and such) I will miss working with the incredible team at RM and my crazy one-day fly ins to Orlando! The vision and passion they put into their work is amazing and it was a dream to be a part of it.
Our family is doing well! Noah finished up the basketball season, Sam and Ethan are in swim class and Jenna still cracks out the homeschoolin' and is regularly involved in her Women of Purpose group(through World Concern, focuses on social justice issues around the globe). And I'm staying focused right now on a few writing projects and our Fusion community! My next post I plan on sharing some of the books I've read so far in 2009 with some recommendations, until then ...
Grace and Peace,
Brian
