His early career in radio communications gave Brian the opportunity to travel the world, which helped to shape and broaden his world view – first-hand experiences of wealth and poverty, and of politics and religion in many countries. It kindled a lasting interest in social justice and secular politics. Then, from a brief sojourn in journalism, he sidestepped into publicity. In the early 90s Brian established his own agency – a unique operational structure that found a successful niche in the highly competitive Sydney market. He retired recently to Adelaide to shoot traditional B&W photography, form a jazz trio, and to write. Brian and his wife Val share a ‘family’ of Max, a 9 year-old Golden Retriever, and Sasha, a 16 year-old Birman – plus a host of lorikeets, kookaburras and magpies that fly in each morning for breakfast.
