Hi, I'm Brian. aka BK.
In short, I'm an expert tailor of words, thoughts and ideas. My special sauce is being able to look at brands from all different perspectives. Having a diverse, minority background myself, gives me the insight to check out every angle possible - as nothing should be viewed as one sided. Let's be intentional about every last word, cause hey, they all count.
Beyond the realms of advertising, a few passions of mine include screenwriting, comedy, filmmaking, improv, travel, teaching, learning, pickleball, boxing, biking, volleyball, trivia, volunteering, mentoring and viewing life from all different perspectives. Heck, I even learned to fly a small airplane like my grandpa did...just in case.
