About the host
Hosted by Brian
- Worked between London, Chicago, and Texas for 20 years.
- I currently live in Dallas with my wife, but our two kids attend UT, so we bought a place in Austin to visit them. When our family isn't in town, we rent out our home. Hopefully, you enjoy it as much as we do!
- I enjoy biking, yoga, kayaking, guitar, online chess, and a good podcast
My home has been lovingly remodeled to preserve its Victorian feel while providing modern amenities. It's located in Central East Austin, which is close to dozens of restaurants, bars, and great places to go out.
