He worked as a linguist, translator, and ethnomusicologist in DR Congo and Cameroon in the 1990s and 2000s, became SIL’s Ethnomusicology & Arts Coordinator in 2006, and founded the Center for Excellence in World Arts at Dallas International University in 2012. Brian has degrees in Cognitive Science (Brown University), Intercultural Studies (Wheaton College), and Ethnomusicology (University of California, Los Angeles).

Brian and his wife, Barb, have three children and a growing number of grandchildren. He makes lots of stuff, speaking, writing, woodworking, and singing regularly for academic, spiritual, and homey occasions like weddings, funerals, and anniversaries.
