About Brian »

Brian was born and raised in the Youngstown, Ohio, area. He had a passion for writing from a very early age and a rabid interest in fantasy gaming that resulted in unfair stereotyping (He never dressed up, that would be stupid.)

Brian remembers Red Right 88 and the other great Cleveland Browns teams doomed to failures of epic proportions and hopes one day to see the Lombardi Trophy raised in Cleveland. He defends the Browns to the death, whether they deserve it or not and continues to try and convert his wife (A Steelers fan) to the orange and brown.

Brian's family was very sports-minded and he began following the Browns and Indians at a very young age. Most of his hair loss can be attributed to the departure of the original Browns franchise in 1995 and the 1997 World Series, which he refuses to admit ever happened.

Brian spent seven years in the newspaper industry until the economic downturn closed his last newspaper in 2007. He spent the last few years in the Internet Advertising business but is currently unemployed after yet another closure and is pursuing his dual passions of writing and sports.

So if anyone wants to start sending Brian paychecks to write things, he would be very appreciative.
