Brian grew up outside of Pittsburgh where he attended Stage Right! School For The Performing Arts. Brian is a proud graduate of Ball State University's BFA Musical Theatre program where he studied under Emmy Award-Winning Musical Director Michael Rafter (Funny Girl) and Two-Time Tony Award Winner Sutton Foster (The Music Man). With their guidance, Brian and his classmates created a cabaret based upon the music of Cole Porter which they were lucky enough to bring to NYC's own Joe's Pub. After graduation, Brian returned to the Pittsburgh area and worked professionally with such companies as Pittsburgh Musical Theatre, Split Stage Productions, and Front Porch Theatricals. This past summer, Brian worked as the Drama Instructor at Children's Aid Society's Camp Wagon Road where he brought the joy of theatre to NYC's underprivileged youth.
