Growing up in the town of Bucksport, sadly the sports scholarship offers never came after high school and the hopes of playing pro were dashed. When one door closes, another opens. Brian headed off to the University of Maine in Orono where he earned a degree in Broadcast Journalism. Brian has had experience in a variety of aspects of the news business over the years – from sports, news, writing for print and radio, too.
Brian started at WABI TV5 in 2016 by anchoring the TV5 Prime Time News on the CW at 10pm and TV5 Late News at 11pm, but that was too late for him. Then he moved to the TV5 Morning News, but that was too early. Now he’s anchoring TV5 News at Four and Five and he thinks that is just right!
Living in Bangor now, you’ll find Brian spending his free time with his family. His wife Holly and young children Layla and Louie keep things pretty exciting. They are always looking for fun ways to get outside and enjoy what the great state of Maine has to offer!
