  About the author: Brian was born and raised in New England. This is his debut book as an author. As an avid runner and marathon finisher, Brian got the idea for “Brian’s Sense-ational Run” through his beloved city of Malden, Mass. Always intrigued by the smells, feels and sights along the journey, Brian, who is a medical professional, had the idea of writing a children’s book to promote kids learning the senses and enjoying their senses while also being aware of their surroundings and promoting exercise.

  As an advocate for those with attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD), Brian wrote this book to also shed light on the ways kids perceive the world around them. Brian graduated from Salve Regina University. (Newport, R.I.) as well as Western University of Health Sciences (Pomona, Calif.). Brian is a Physician Assistant in urology/surgery at one of Boston’s largest hospitals, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
