ABOUT BRIAN

I began playing guitar and writing/recording music in 1996 while earning my B.S. degree in Aeronautics and Commercial Aviation at the University of North Dakota. I was fortunate to have two passions, music and flying. Throughout my work as a flight instructor and charter pilot, nearly all my free time was spent creating and recording music. I returned to college in 2000 for a second degree in Music & Audio Recording Arts at Full Sail University.

A third passion that showed up without invitation is mental health education, advocacy, and support. I worked for several years at NAMI Minnesota (National Alliance on Mental Illness) after I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, type 1, in 2005. I share some of that experience in my 2010 memoir “Grounded by Bipolar Disorder; One Pilot’s Landing,” which was the first audiobook that I narrated.

I am a husband and father of two kids. My family lives near Minneapolis, Minnesota. I have a not-so-secret dream of finishing writing a screenplay (I can’t seem to find the end…maybe it’s a series?). I enjoy biking most days unless the roads are covered in snow and ice, in which case I resort to using my indoor rowing machine.
