Brian is a fourth-year senior at Seton Hall University working towards his B.A. in journalism.
He is the current Editor-in-Chief of The Setonian, the university’s award-winning undergraduate student newspaper. Brian just concluded his tenure as Station Manager of 89.5 FM WSOU, Seton Hall’s nationally recognized student-run radio station.
Brian interned in the fall of 2010 with NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, assisting NBC News with everything from election coverage to each night’s basic newscast. He spent his summer months of 2010 interning for the Daily Record of Morris County, where his work was published in print nearly each week.
Brian is a five-time award winner of the New Jersey Press Association’s Better College Newspaper Contest, earning recognition for both news and deadline reporting. He guided The Setonian to the 2010-2011 Sweepstakes Award in the same contest, an honor reserved for the top college newspaper in the state.
He has also earned a first place award by the Garden State Journalists Association for his radio broadcast of a Seton Hall basketball game in the fall of 2009 and a New York Radio Festival finalist honor for the same broadcast.

He began writing at Seton Hall because of his passion for sports, as he had been following Seton Hall men’s basketball since he was in high school in Central Jersey.
Since, though, Brian has been at the helm of some of Seton Hall’s biggest news stories over the past few years, including the fatal off-campus shooting at an East Orange house party in Sept. 2010, the resignation of University President Msgr. Robert Sheeran, the firing of men’s basketball coach Bobby Gonzalez, the school’s numerous administrative changes and searches and the sudden collapse of basketball player Herb Pope.
He lives full-time in Lyndhurst, but spends most of every day – seriously – around the South Orange campus.
