Brian began working in Los Angeles in 1987 after spending 7 years in the Austin and Dallas markets.

In 2010, he brought his company home to Texas and opened Tone Visuals in order to deliver A-level talent and digital workflow to directors, editorial companies and advertising agencies. Tone Visuals allows projects with tight deadlines and shrinking budgets to begin as soon as the footage leaves any camera in use today. Brian enjoys the creative challenge of applying the workflow to the variety of projects Texas delivers.
