As a teenager, he discovered his passion and enthusiasm for working with, and teaching children. He has worked in exciting environments with kids including Pump It Up, Silva Martial Arts, and even at the Tech Museum as a Mythbuster! When he finally combined this passion with his love of the sciences, The Science Factory was born!

As an adult, Brian is an owner at Silva Martial Arts in Santa Clara, and an Economics Lecturer with SJSU (San Jose State University), where he completed his MA in Applied Economics. Although his degree is in economics, he has always enjoyed the sciences. In fact, the critical thinking he learned from the sciences is what lead him to economics.
