Brian was a high school teacher, most recently teaching physics and engineering at Paul and Jane Meyer High School/Rapoport Academy in Waco. He had many talents, but singing and performing were his passions. He will be greatly missed.

I'm working on my senior capstone project (designing and making an electric guitar) and have spent a long time looking for research sources, I found James paper from 2014 designed for a highschool engineering capstone project of making an electric guitar.
I'm sorrowful to hear of his passing, and grateful for his passion for teaching.
I will be reading his course and using his advice and skill to create my capstone, he would have made a wonderful mentor.
