Experience

Brian's college career laid a foundational skillset on which he puts to use through his newfound passion for food and drink. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Brian began cooking, baking, and consuming as much food-related media as he could. What started out as a simple hobby quickly shaped his career path. Since then, Brian has combined his knowledge with his skills as a writer to contribute to Tasting Table and Man of the Hour Magazine.

Education

At Montclair State University, Brian earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication and Media Studies. This academic framework gave him a new perspective on how media affects its consumers and how every nuance and subtlety matters, no matter the subject at hand.
