Brian is one of many associate directors of communications and is occasionally director of making things look pretty. He went to Ohio University, earning a B.F.A. and dressing in black. When he was a child he liked to build those little plastic models and blow them up. Now, as an adult (at least when given credit for being one), he likes noisy music and randomly pointing in public.
