Growing up in the Midwest, Brian spent more than a decade as a competitive gymnast. In the course of his martial arts studies, Brian met up with John Hicks Pearce of the Chicago Stunt Team, who gave him his start on his career in stunt work.Brian is the director and co-founder of Asylum Stunts in Chicago. The company was originally developed with the needs of non-equity projects in mind, so that smaller shops and productions could have access to professional-quality stunt performers and training. Asylum has since expanded to music videos, motion capture, and almost any venture where stunt performers or effects can be used. In addition, the company runs a gym where both aspiring and experienced stunt performers train, and often use it to train actors who performing their own stunts and to rehearse scenes and audition performers.
