Brick was born and raised in Petersburg, Indiana. Although he wanted to do nothing more than be in a rock band, he was coerced into attending university. After taking a class at Indiana University on the complete works of Charles Chaplin, he decided to try to make films. During a stint at Southern Illinois University the following year, he discovered Truffaut, Godard and Tarkovsky, thus his fate was sealed.
During this journey of personal and financial ruin, Brick moved to New York, then Los Angeles, and finally back to New York chasing the cinema dragon. Influenced greatly by Cassavetes, Truffaut, Rohmer, Cukor and a host of others, he pitched films all over both cities (with several near misses) until he moved back to Petersburg deeming cinema dead.
He finally chose to work in the last place he said he’d ever end up, local television. He has produced two feature films, one which shall never be seen again. After giving up features for his health and sanity, he discovered that the only thing he ever truly loved was RocknRoll.. He now spends most of his time writing and performing with his band and producing music in his studio. He won’t admit it in public but he has been in contact with several producers about a certain screenplay. He is married and has a daughter. They still reside in Petersburg.
