Damned to Live

After 16 years of experience (...and counting) teaching Middle School English and Language Arts & Creative Writing in urban districts, two master's degrees, and a massive amount of black coffee, Brian came to realize the dire need for creativity and imagination in a classroom setting. Taught at The Ohio State University in his graduate program to design lessons and curriculum from scratch, yielded very minimal opportunities to indulge his profound love of writing. Ultimately this led him to Northern Kentucky University, where he acquired his second master's degree in English/Creative Writing. Since then, he has produced multiple lesson plans, materials, short stories for adolescents, and several other manuscripts for both adolescent and adults.
