Brian grew up in Racine, WI, which is a small city down the road from Milwaukee. He spent more than 15 years as a cop before chasing down his dream of being a writer. When he actually has a little free time, he likes to spend time with his family, watch football or baseball, read, ride his bike, or escape into some video games. Spiders in the Sand is his first novel. He currently resides in Milwaukee, WI with his wife and their two wonderful children.
