About me
Hi, I've been playing and running soley Pathfinder 2nd Edition games since it came out. I also run live-in-person games for Pathfinder Society as a Venture Officer (4 glyphs) at local game stores and cons. In addition, I mixed in running online APs for folks one a regular basis and really enjoy challenging my players and telling a thrilling story. Right now I am using Roll20 VTT but, as a player, learning more and more about Foundry and hope to also run games on that platform in the near future. But for now, it's Roll20. Cheers!
GM Style
I would say I like to stay on top of new technologies and methods to enhance game play. I try to incorporate sounds effects where appropriate and useful macros but not to the point of being overwhelming. Roleplay trumps mechanics but I do tend to lean towards RAW (rules as written) style of play minimal amount of house rules. However, it is the players games so if the group wants something to be there I am open to it.

Brian is one of the best GMs I've ever played with... period! He engages the players, sets the pace and makes playing fun. Brian knows what the hell he is doing and is epically professional! If you get a chance to play with him... do it.
Lonnie
Brian does a great job including all of the players and keeping everyone on track.
Lea
He was awesome. He allows plenty of time for role-playing but knows how to keep the story going too. He is good at explaining and helping if you are unsure of things. I highly recommend him.
ICAAN
A very fun GM and general guy to play with. He's knowledgeable of the system and is willing to be flexible with things you may want to try!

I've crossed paths with Brian plenty of times over the past years, both with him as a Player and GM. Brian is an excellent GM both for new players, but also old players, as he allows players to be creative, but can also be helpful in regards to what is fitting for the game. Game sessions with Brian tends to be fun and entertaining, since he allows players to be creative and often allows rule of cool, if a player can explain why their plan would work. He is also good at creating a fun gaming environment, where there is plenty of room for jokes, while still being able to keep a nice pace in the game.

I've played quite a few Pathfinder 2 games with Brian over the past 2 or 3 years. He provides plenty of opportunities for RP for players and isn't opposed to some rather silly antics amongst players. He's informed about the rules and, at the same time, is flexible with players (ex. will consider skill checks that aren't necessarily listed in the Scenario/AP if the player can argue the reasoning). This adaptivity and creativity makes his games a great place for beginners to learn PF2.
