In most cases, rising to the presidency of the UMass Juggling Club might be considered the achievement of a lifetime. Not so for Brian, who keeps raising the bar higher and higher.

Remember the 2000 presidential election, the insane one that ended with a tie in Florida? Brian was the CNN tech capturing the shuffling sounds of ballots being recounted. A year later, he was at the Pentagon for CNN International, working on coverage of the 9/11 terror attacks.

Brian has also worked as a cameraman and live truck operator for WTIC Fox 61 News at Ten (Hartforn, Conn.), where he was hailed for securing priceless footage of disgraced Gov. John Rowland's hot tub.

Scandals aside, Brian loves to build model rockets and occasionally dabbles in a little locksmithing (who doesn't?). And he especially thrives on adventurous travel.

Brian recently devoted a month in Uganda to shoot footage for African human rights organizations. A few years back, his ambitious drive across the United States came to an abrupt halt when his van flipped over in Wyoming's Thunder Basin National Grassland.

He blames slippery road conditions for the accident. But who or what was at fault for the totalled van is irrelevant. The point is that Brian emerged from the rollover with just a tiny bump on his forehead.

We're pleased to report that our faithful shooter is indestructible.
