Brian Avery

Brian D. Avery writes for curious readers of all ages, encouraging them to notice what others might miss, ask questions, and think about risk from different perspectives. A professor, operational safety professional, and expert witness, he brings experience with events, attractions, and amusement rides to his storytelling.

His children’s series, Professor B. Ready’s Safety School, blends humor and adventure with lessons about paying attention, speaking up, and looking out for one another. His first story, A Hop, a Skip & a Whoops!, invites children and adults to keep the conversation going together.

His forthcoming book, The Accidents We Build: How Preventable Harm Hides in Plain Sight, uses personal experience and fictionalized teaching stories to explore how hazards develop, decisions interact, and opportunities for prevention are missed.

Across his writing, Brian helps readers see how thoughtful choices can make the places we live, work, and play safer.
