View Brian's COOL Card

Brian is a pretty cool guy. He’s from Texas. He is a certified emergency medical technician, likes to compose classical music, explore caves on land and also is a certified cave diver. That’s a person who not only explores underground caves, but has to sometimes dive underwater to get to them!

Brian is also a marine microbiologist and was a marine technician aboard the research vessel R/V Cape Hatteras during a recent scientific experiment off the coast of NJ to study the Hudson River Plume.

Watch the video to find out more about Brian's research.
