After 3 years of many performance ensembles and a just a few credits shy of finishing his Associates in Audio Production Technology from Mesa Community College, Brian jumped at the opportunity in July of 07 for an internship at Studio 880 in Oakland, CA... One of Northern California's finest recording and mixing facilities. Here he has spent just over a year and a half logging many many hours doing everything from basic cleanup, going on runs, studying and practicing skills on the equipment, and learning the ropes of how a professional studio is ran.
Some highlights of this experience include assisting with sessions for Radio Angel, Sutro, Piero, Adrian Stern, Brain, Buckethead, Ana Buitrago, Robots of Fury, David Rideau (grammy nominated engineer mixing a new Ludacris album in surround), Michael Urbano, The Lovemakers, Gossip, TGT (Tyrese Gibson, Ginuwine, and Tank), as well as Lenny Kravitz live at the Fillmore in San Francisco, and Paramore in San Jose for the internet based series Soundcheck on Wal-Marts website.

Recent projects include recording Coupe de Ville, and engineering for an upcoming Emily Bell album. In addition Brian has also been cutting his teeth as a sound designer/foley artist/sound effects editor for an upcoming feature film called The Awakened, working on midi editing for the soundtrack to a live musical, and also editing sessions for the Wal-Mart Soundcheck series.

Brian also did sound this past summer for the Kaiser Building Rooftop Gardens summer concert series , as well a few dates for the Oakland City Center concerts (both produced by Natasha Miller).
In February 2009 Brian moved to Vancouver, Canada to be with his wife. While waiting for immigration paperwork to be all sorted out, Brian has enjoyed getting involved with the local music scene playing in a couple jazz bands, a concert band, a british brass band, and 2 ska bands.
