*I'm back (2025) using the platform for the first time as a guest in over a decade. I'll leave the original profile, as 23 year old Brian I'm sure spent too much time curating it. Same, older me just with more gray hairs, more back hairs and even some gray back hairs...

CURRENT MISSION

Ride that gravy train with biscuit wheels.

ABOUT ME

I grew up outside of Nashville, TN, home of country music and whiskey, the latter of which I enjoy quite a lot, the former not so much. I went to college in Chicago, still one of my favorite city in the world. I love sports (watching and playing), music (I'm much better at watching than playing), and any outdoor activity, especially hiking and biking. For now I'm enjoying my seasonal job as a tour guide in the States and traveling during the off-season. I am all about meeting locals in hopes to get the real scoop and learn something unique and interesting about the places I visit. I try not to take myself too seriously - everyone should get a good belly laugh every day even if it's laughing at yourself, which I excel at.

PHILOSOPHY

Eat and laugh until it hurts
