He decided to pursue news as a career after being inspired by television anchors that he grew up watching in Charleston, South Carolina.

At one point in Brian's career he found himself in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. From there, he used to travel to Denver once to twice a month.
"The people here have always been welcoming to me," he said.
