I am a creative instigator who has worn many hats. I put my first video online in 1994, wrote my first blog post in 2002, began Podcasting in September 2004, organized one of the first podcasting events, PodcasterCon, held in January 2006, created @brianr on Twitter in October of 2006, and opened Carrboro Creative Coworking, North Carolina’s first Coworking space, in November 2008. Since then I’ve become a dad and worked at a science museum and a hospital.
My creative passion includes oil painting, medium format film photography, film and video editing, experimental music, and sewing.
I live in Durham, North Carolina with my son. The up-to-the-minute juicy stuff is at instagram.com/brianyesh.
