Brian then switched careers and founded and operated his own recording and TV facility (ESPStudios) for a number of years. He then sold the studio and toured the United States as a sound engineer and musician. After several years on the road, he returned to New York and worked as a recording engineer at Greene Street Studios, Firehouse Studios and Streetlight Studios.

He then moved temporarily to Raleigh NC, and subsequently to Los Angeles CA where he built a recording and video editing suite and worked on many films and television projects. He co-founded a company ‘Afterschool Films’ that specializes in family and educational entertainment and content.
