Brian Passey is a writer, photographer, and explorer. He currently works as a public relations specialist for Scottsdale Arts in Arizona, but he spent 13 years as an award-winning journalist in southern Utah covering everything from religion and city government to the outdoors and the arts. When corporate detachment and reader apathy destroyed that career, he made a move into promoting the power and beauty of the arts because he truly believes that the arts teach us how to be human. During his time in southern Utah, he served on the local advisory board for Big Brothers Big Sisters, where he was also a volunteer Big Brother for 13 years. He was honored to be named Big Brother of the Year for Utah in 2013. Now that he has transitioned from exploring the canyons of southern Utah to the streets of Phoenix, Brian and his wife spend their time watching artistic performances, visiting museums, and discovering new restaurants.
