Hey. I’m Brian.
I’m a writer, Creative Director, and Strategist. I tell stories about health & wellness.
I write. I run.
I build brands that make people’s lives better.
Twelve years writing for brands that people live and breathe. Starbucks, the Broncos, and even clean air itself.
I’m journalism-trained, former sponsored skateboarder, now a runner by choice. I build brand voices, and the teams that keep them sharp.
So what's the story? The brands I’ve worked on have had a profound effect on me. Most of them have had the unique benefit of making people healthier, myself included. I’ve written TV, social, emails, direct response and more that I believe have helped others. It’s all a part of my story now.
I started skateboarding in 1999. I started running in 2022. I started working for Altra in 2026, where I put both of those things together for a campaign that shows how movement is mental medecine.

It wasn’t until my late twenties that I started to care about my health. I ate organic, drank filtered water, tracked my steps. But it wasn’t until I was 40 that I thought about tracking what’s in my 22,000 breaths per day.

Colorado is dry. Chapstick is a must. As a kid, I would guzzle water after summer skateboard sessions. I still do after running. Little did I know that I was losing most of my body’s water while I slept.

Hangovers as a parent just hit different. I stopped drinking when my second son was born. It’s been years now. But I miss a good tequila. Mocktails have found their way into my routine—a fun Friday doesn’t run a Saturday long run.

The most challenging time of my life was shortly after becoming a father in 2020. Quarantine with a newborn—we were all living brand new lives. I was lucky enough to write some work that profiled those who were pushing science forward despite the challenges.
