Brian is the head editor and writer of Fountain City Focus. He attended college in Hawaii where he played baseball before moving back home to Seattle where he continued playing baseball and received his Master's degree in sports administration. He has always been a Chiefs and Jayhawks fan thanks to his dad who is originally from Kansas, and he has recently jumped on the Royals bandwagon as well. (Can I call it a bandwagon? Is there even a Royals bandwagon to jump on? If there is, I know there is definitely room for me)
