Content Creator | Travel | Food | Theme Parks

Hello, I'm Brian!

Hi, I’m Brian – a creator, traveler, and foodie. I live in Orlando, Florida, with my partner and content collaborator, Thomas (TJ). Before I ever picked up my phone to create content, I spent seven years working for The Walt Disney Company and seven years as a Director of Marketing with a large real estate brokerage. Those roles gave me a deep understanding of storytelling, branding, and how to create memorable experiences… skills I now use every day in my content and consulting work.

I started BrianTreks to share my love of exploring new places and great food, but it’s grown into so much more. I get to partner with incredible destinations like Visit California, Travel + Leisure, and Visit Singapore to create content that inspires people to get out and explore, and also help other creators and influencers navigate the ever-changing creator economy.

One of my biggest passions is bridging the gap between creators and brands – showing creators how to thrive, and helping brands understand the true value of authentic influencer partnerships.

At the end of the day, my goal is simple: inspire, educate, and connect – whether it’s through a travel guide, a consulting session, or just sharing a great meal.
