Bryan Johnston counted Network affiliate television as his employer for twenty-five years, earning him eleven regional Emmy awards as a writer and producer. He is the author of several books and has written for numerous magazines and websites. He is currently the Creative Director for a Seattle creative agency. Bryan counts himself as a born and bred Seattleite and lives there still with his wife, two teenage kids, and one large goldendoodle. His loves are sports, movies, and books. He’s a middling yet improving golfer, used to have a serviceable post-up move in the paint, and had reasonable pop from the right side of the plate in his softball days. His favorite book is A Gentleman in Moscow, by Amor Towles; his favorite movie Casablanca, favorite color purple. Perhaps his greatest desire is to see the Seattle Mariners in the World Series in his lifetime. He is not holding his breath.
