My Official Auto-Biography

I began my broadcasting career many years ago at KFRU radio in Columbia, Missouri. Somehow I was graciously given an overnight hosting job which amazingly ended up getting me a job managing the newsroom at KMIZ-TV also in Columbia. I was the nation's youngest television News Director with a promising future, but soon realized I was really more cut out to be in front of the camera as opposed to behind the scenes.

My TV career expanded into specializing in weather and the environment and led to post-graduate studies in meteorology. Television allowed me to work and live in wonderful places like Reno, Pittsburgh and eventually back to my beloved home state of California where I was the main weather guy at KNTV and KPIX. I was humbled to have received numerous Emmy Awards, Associated Press Awards and Radio and Television News Director's trophies for “Best Weathercast”. The National Education Associated also awarded me a distinguished service honor for elementary education. In addition to all this, for several years in the 1990s I was lucky enough to hold the post of “fill-in” weatherman on the nationally broadcast CBS Morning Show.

If I have a legacy in the world of media, hopefully it will be “Brian's Kids”. Over the course of 12 years we utilized the airwaves of KPIX to highlight foster children in need of adoption. Over 400 children were adopted as a result of “Brian's Kids”-- in fact my household expanded notably as a result of the program.

I left KPIX in 2001 after the adoption of our youngest son and launched several small businesses. In 2003 I was hired by KSFO radio in San Francisco to perform a two-hour evening talk show. Working at KSFO has been one of the greatest and positive challenges of my media career. The management team is second to none and the program line-up is a market winner. Thanks to the good listeners of KSFO my time slot has become very successful.

I am a blessed man with a great network of family, friends and listeners. Thanks for all of your support.
