Brian is the author of the Matt Makaio mystery novels, a series about a former football star trying to rebuild his life and help others, while his memory and physicality fade away. When he's not writing, Brian divides his time between his day job as a government pawn and his family of two boys, a wife and a dog that desperately wants the children to just go away. If that weren't enough, Brian is also the Operations Manager of the Willamette Writers Conference. So if anything goes wrong, find him and yell at him. He won't mind, he's lost all of his hair already.
