I build brands with words and communities with heart.
I'm the Content Manager at CreativeMornings HQ. And I'm also proud to be one of the co-founders of our Austin chapter.
At my core, I’m a copywriter. I try to be really great at it. I'm also a husband and dad. I try not to screw that up either.
Getting in over my head and figuring it out.
Meeting more good people in Austin.

My wife, because she puts up with me.
Making decisions.
The janitorial arts. (I spent my summers during college as a custodian at Walt Disney World.)

Brian’s CreativeMornings activity
“How many times do you need to be told you're a failure before you believe it? Before it colors the way you see the world? The way you see yourself?”
You need to know is what you want to be known for.
Make someone's day. Share your voice. There’s power in your voice.
You have everything you need right now to do something that makes the world more awesome.

I had this crazy idea in my head. And I did it. I made it happen and I felt really good about it.
Who of us doesn’t struggle to find our voice and say what really matters to us?
“You’re not for everyone. And that’s OK. The people who you are for will find you.”
“The idea of the small gesture. that we have no idea what the ripples of that small gesture will be.”
Say the thing. Send the text. Say the compliment. Tell the person you love their dress.

CreativeMornings/Austin Team Second Cut
What I'm doing right now feels so natural. It feels so good. It's like I'm right where I'm supposed to be.
It's only when you can name your prison that you can do the terrifying but life-affirming and necessary work of setting yourself free.
Be fully you and create magic.
One can have a pretty good life with a lot less.
Texas has always been a part of me.
People who avoid risks are rewarded with the safety they achieve. People who take the risks are rewarded with the adventures they have.
