Brian’s spirited filmmaking career began in action sports, where he worked with professional snowboarders and skateboarders to produce original TV content. Traveling across the globe, Brian captured stunning outdoor imagery and built stories about adventure and perseverance.

Today, through ads and independent film, Brian’s work continues to promote a unique philosophy, always celebrating life’s wild journeys.
