Brian O'Halloran
Brian O'Halloran Brian O'Halloran is a true renaissance man who has read over 10 books, two of which had no pictures. Having attended four colleges, he refused to obtain a degree or even declare a major. He has traveled worldwide: Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, Amsterdam and Laredo.

Born sometime ago to circus performers, he was orphaned at the age of 3 in a bizarre accident involving several drunk clowns, a midget and 2 elephants. After this tragic incident, Brian was taken in and raised by a pack of wolves (if you have ever seen him eat you will attest to this).

At the age of 13 Brian challenged the pack's alpha male. He lost badly. Wounded and ostracized, he set out for the mean streets of Abilene, Texas. Once there, he joined a gang known as “The Country Club Fierce Mofo’s”. After a dismal attempt at being a thug, Brian attended Cooper High School and graduated at the bottom 1% of his class.

Following his lengthy college stay, Brian tried his hand at boxing. Known as “The Crusher” in the boxing community, his career was short-lived. Just before his first amateur fight, Brian was disqualified by the Texas Golden Gloves Association because of numerous medical problems and his inability to avoid punches.

Brian then joined the semi-pro football team, “Mean Machine”. Known as “Dr. Touchdown” he was the starting quarterback three years straight and played many defensive positions, as well. His brilliant career (41 wins, 1 loss and 1 tie) was cut horribly short when he dropped back to throw one of his signature missile passes, the pocket collapsed. While scrambling for a touch down, spinning and juking opponents half his age, he ruptured the disc between his L4 and L5 vertebrae.

Brian’s hobbies include watching television and sleeping up to 15 hours a day. He enjoys all kinds of music from classical to gangster rap. He can be found most weekends at one of the many watering holes in the warehouse district of Austin, Texas. Brian has been in a myriad of dysfunctional relationships going from one psychotic girlfriend to the next. Even after all this hardship, amazingly, friends describe Brian as energetic, upbeat and even-tempered.

Oh yeah, during the late 80’s till now he was in some bands.
