He has recently returned to his hometown to finish his degree in dance and choreography at SIUE. Knowing that there is infinitely more to learn and discover, he is fiercely excited to continue growing and finding his voice through art and movement over the next many decades. You may see Brian performing locally with the SIUE Dance Company or the Consuming Kinetics Dance Company of St. Louis. Premiering a newly created aerial piece, he plans to bring something new and special to the Wildey stage.
