A 21-year member of the PGA of America, Brian was named the PGA Kentucky Section Teacher of the Year in 2003. After being one of only 31 instructor’s world-wide to receive a G.S.E.D., from The Golfing Machine, he left the organization in 2010 to start Project 1.68, an explanation of the synergy of the sciences as they apply to the golf swing.

In 1987 he began a long tutelage under world-renown instructor Ben Doyle, and in 1988 began a long teacher-student relationship with PGA Champion David Toms who he continues to work with to this day.

His free YouTube videos have been viewed more than 400,000 times. An avid TrackMan user, Brian has produced several videos on the real world application of the "new ball flight laws" that the D-Plane has brought to light.
