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.

*July 2008

Our summer is flying by. Took a fishing trip to TN this past weekend with Noah, my dad, my brother and nephew. Our fishing guides name was Johnny Cash. Seriously. He told us his dad was in the military and gave the name as a joke while his mom was out of it. The nurses didn't know he was joking so they made up the birth certificate. Hence, Johnny Cash. We refrained from most Cash comments but we couldn't resist a few "I hope this fish walks the line," or "Wow, my reel is burning like a ring of fire," etc., etc.

Right now I'm working on a few writing projects that I'm really excited about. I'll share more in next month's post.

Thanks for all of you who sent emails and told me you were praying for my mom. She will be starting a new treatment this Friday. Please keep praying!

Grace and Peace

Brian
