Brian (he/him) has been an avid reader of F&SF for as long as he can remember, and went on to get a B.S. in Genetics in part due to reading "Jurassic Park" just as he was deciding what area of science to go into. Since then, he has spent almost twenty years working as a technician in research and teaching laboratories. He's also been performing at the Renaissance Faires with the Merrie Pryanksters for the same amount of time, and for the past seven years has been raising a geekling with his wife Sarah, and has found the Bay Area fannish community to be a great place to raise a kid.
