Brian co-founded the Reducetarian Foundation in 2015 after coining the term “reducetarian” to describe a person who is deliberately reducing their consumption of meat. He is now the author of The Reducetarian Solution, The Reducetarian Cookbook, and Meat Me Halfway, and is the lead producer of the documentary version of Meat Me Halfway. He is a regular contributor to Fast Company, Entrepreneur, and Forbes, and his writings have appeared in The Atlantic, The Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post, among others.

Brian is an adjunct professor of environmental science and sustainability at Kean University, and teaches environmental communications at Fordham. He holds an MA in Conservation Biology from Columbia University, and a BA in Biology from The Macaulay Honors College, City University of New York. He lives in New Jersey with his wife Isabel and rescue dogs Tobey and Cooper.
