Brian got involved in the film industry by attending Specs Howard School of Media Arts in 2013. He wanted to be a cinematographer-"I've loved films since I was a little' boy and have always been fascinated with how they were made."
He graduated Specs Howard's Digital Media Program in 2014 with a 3.7, but loved the acting part so much he pursued it through contacts from the school.
At the beginning, Brian did a lot of free independent projects and short films. In August of 2015, he reached out to a talent agency by the name of Jon Tomus Talent . In January of 2016, he signed with his current manager Bennie Taylor, creator and founder of Jon Tomus Talent.
Brian has done quite a bit in the film industry from behind the camera to in front of the camera. He has worked as a camera operator, P.A., sound guy, location scout (one of his favorites), scene and setup coordinator, and casting agent (local independent films) for various productions locally. And once in Chicago he operated a camera and sound for live comedy shows.
Brian's heart and soul loves acting and that is what he mainly does now and has been for 6 years now.
His first major production he was blessed to be a part of was Fast 8 The Fate of the Furious in 2016 in which he played Vin Diesel's body double. It was just for one scene and unfortunately no credit for doubling. His first stunt credit was with Harley Wallen on his first major film Deceitful. "I have cameos in five of Mr. Wallens films with credit-one film in which I had the pleasure of working with Billy Wirth (The Lost Boys) in a scene."

"I love all genres but I'm a huge fan of horror. I love action with drama in it as well."
Personal philosophy..".I fell into this entertainment world by accident, well the acting part that is and I love it...I will not quit until I am a full time actor. Not looking to be a millionaire or big time famous just want to make a living entertaining people...and myself."
