Brian is a stand-up comedian. A number of his live comedy routines and short films are on YouTube. He has an out-of-date but funny MySpace comedy page.  He has a TubeMogul profile with stats about his comedy videos.

Brian and his wife, Lynda, named his dog "Brad Pitt", because he was so good looking (the dog, not Brian, even tho he is also good looking). They named their other dog Seratonin, because she needs some. They believe she is 50% coyote and 100% brain damaged. Lynda now wants to call her Dopamine instead but Brian loves her too much to call her Dopa.

He's also a bit of a twitter comedian with chuck norris jokes and stand up comedy. He hopes one day to be a cool corporate comedian, if he's very very lucky and learns to be funny.
