NARCISISTIC and ELUSIVE are the first two words that come to mind when describing the host of Dope Sick Radio. He's rarely seen in public and if he is, it's usually alone or with a hooker.
The graduate of an over-priced art school, Brian spent the majority of his college years suffering panic attacks and observing homeless men jerk-off on the escalator walls in the school's subway basement.
A self-proclaimed "Socialist amongst pigs', Brian has enjoyed all the benefits that Capitalism has to offer. In 2005, after a failed attempt to officially launch a magazine he publishing for 7 years, Brian was forced to file for bankruptcy.
The years that followed were filled with self-destruction and drug abuse. Three years of his life were spent bouncing in strip clubs on the Chicago South Side just to maintain an expensive drug habit; while at the same time, collecting stories, experiences, and character developments for a writing project he's been working on for the last 2 years.
After a very short stint living and working in Los Angles, compiled with years of a creativeless existence, Brain was hungry to take on a new mammoth project. In 2008 after being interviewed by a local radio station in regards to his disastrous publishing endeavors, Brian approached that very station for a show. In the Fall of 2008, Dope Sick Radio was in rotation.
