Describe your job in one sentence.
I create new media in a variety of formats, including Flash, video and sound.

What’s the best part of your job?
The satisfaction of completing a successful project.

What are you a specialist in?
Flash, Flash and Flash.

How did a nice guy like you get mixed up in Flash?
Nine years ago I was looking to create a website for my online gaming group. Flash had just come out and I saw some early Flash-driven work that just blew me away. I was particularly amazed by the potential for animation. I started tinkering with Flash for my gaming site and became completely hooked on the technology. The rest is history.

What do you enjoy doing when you’re not at work?
Playing with my kids and family. Guitar. Movies. Games.

If you weren’t at nFusion, where would you rather work: Dunder-Mifflin or WKRP?
WKRP. Dr. Johnny Fever was the man. Plus, Wolfman Jack is a legend.

Beatles or Stones?
Tough one. I’d have to say Beatles for their thought-provoking lyrics.

Speaking of music, name five bands currently playing on your iPod.
Only five? Willie Nelson, Dwight Yoakam, Spoon, Flaming Lips, Wolfmother.

Brian, what are you passionate about?
Kicking butt in whatever I do. No prisoners.
