The author is a solid active member of FlyerTalk and has been for many years. I know his picture was discussed a few years back; I tried to find the specific post without success. I did find some active conversation about his blog in 2015. I remember Brian coming on here and good naturedly explaining why he uses that head shot. I find it unattractive to be dismissive of his work while freely admitting no knowledge of it.
I remember reading that post as well, and him being self deprecating about the high forehead. I enjoy his blog and his style of writing. I don't read it a lot but like it when I do. He had a wonderful trip report to Muscat and surrounding areas that I just loved. He did probably the most comprehensive review of Tru by Hilton I have read. I find his writing style often warm and engaging with more substance and less flash than many of the blogs in Boarding Area.
