Bryen

What's up! I'm the Digital Managing Editor here at Townsquare Media in Albany. That's fancy talk for 'guy that takes care of the websites and social media'. You can call me Brian, or B6 (we have six people named Brian working here), or even Darwin. Or Jackass as my mom refers to me.I grew up in a place that would (and apparently has) scared the hell out of Stephen King - Hoosick Falls. When I was 19 I packed up everything I owned and drove to Arizona, someplace I'd never been. I graduated from Northern Arizona University in 2003, and then moved back home to NY. I've bummed around the radio dial in Flagstaff, (briefly Phoenix), Southern Vermont, and Albany NY .You may have known me at one point as Darwin on 102.7 WEQX or as the Darwin half of the Darwin and Cat Radio Show on the new defunct 104.9 The Edge (WZMR) I was on Wife Swap for about ten seconds when Cat was the swap mom. Honestly it was pretty cool :) I have a dog Buster and live with him in downtown Troy, NY Oh and I have 31 tattoos. I think. Feel free to count - unless you're the creepy lady in line next to me in Price Chopper.
