Biography

Brian Mullins grew up in a small coal town in rural southwestern Virginia. His father was an underground electrical foreman, and his mother a nurse. They encouraged him to reach for the stars. After four years of college he graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering with a strong background in Computer Information Systems, and put most of his artistic talents on the back burner. After many years traveling across the southern part of the east coast as a Commercial Foreman, and after a very bad divorce, he moved north, and remarried. There he worked for a few years as an electrician, but as a family man, made the decision with his wife to stay home with the children. As a house husband he found he had more time to spend with his art and writing. Thus was born a love for photography, poetry and music that before had been buried by many years of physical labor.
