I was very saddened to hear about the loss of Art Eckman. I had just turned 20 years old when I moved to Atlanta to work for MotoWorld on ESPN2 in 1996. One of my first features that I edited was a piece about Ryan Hughes’ recovery from his broken jaw that season. Art had written and voiced the piece and worked very closely with me to get it fine tuned for air. From that first collaboration on, Art never yelled “Hey kid” or treated me less-than because I was younger, or a fresh production assistant. (I couldn’t say that about all of my co-workers at the time). He could have bossed me around, and I would have done what he asked. But he didn’t. I didn’t realize it until I started to get older, but that spoke volumes about his character.

Art’s voice was immediately recognizable, and would shake the woofers out of a speaker like a heavy metal bass player. I woke him up early one morning on a phone call and thought I had woken up a broken tuba by mistake.

Shortly after leaving Seals, I got a call out of the blue from Art. He was working for this new “internet website thing” called Motocross.com. Because I had helped him fix his home computer, he figured I’d be a perfect guy to help them out with photos and stories. Enter the next phase of my career.

The last time I saw Art was in 2014. He was in San Diego for a few days and a bunch of tv crew folks got together to drink margaritas and swap old stories. It was great to see him and David Bailey together again. They were a special team on camera. Art was a solid guy with and an amazing broadcast talent. It was a privilege to work alongside and learn from him.

Who knew working for a hockey team for 2 years would turn me into a fan? Came to check out opening night. Not gonna lie, I missed it a bit! Thanks to the Tucson Roadrunners for the tickets!

Dear Apple. Please explain to me why you felt it necessary to add a new feature that CONSTANTLY reminds me when I have the CAPS Lock on.

1. The CAPS Lock key is crucial for a lot of After Effects rendering and exporting, plus a lot of our clients use ALL CAPS in their style guide. I have CAPS Lock on all the time, on purpose.

2. I’m not 93 years old. I know when I’ve hit the damn caps lock key.

When you gotta get your smokes and lottery tickets…

Jersey helped me do some editing this week. I had to tell her to shut up after she suggested a ‘Star Wipe’ for the third time.

We do a monthly shoot with our casino client in Tucson, Casino Del Sol. The bartenders come up with signature drinks and we shoot a couple quick reels of them preparing the drink. Today was my first time shooting them solo. At least I got to use the hotel carts to move all the gear in.

I’ve been lucky enough to collect a box of these things over the years. But this one hits different. Totally different vibe when it’s a credential that you designed. Preseason opener in Tucson tonight. Hockey season is here! !

Time to make the motocr… ‘er. Time to make the HOCKEY!

This is one of my favorite photos of my parents. Congrats to Mom and Dad on their anniversary!

Love you both! Happy Anniversary!

Was going through old footage and found some Dusty Outtakes.

Went to the arena to shoot a quick skit with Dusty and his trike. This thing’s seen better days. Im@thinking new MAXXIS Tires, some Emig lock on grips, and maybe the boys at Yoshimura could whip something up to open the bottom end on this thing. Maybe a larger sprocket in the back, too. He needs that torque to seat bounce out of the corners. What’ya say and ?

Today was National High-Five Day. Dusty and I grabbed the camera and went around downtown to celebrate. He got a little too into it and I had to shut him down.

I’m so saddened to hear about the loss of Taylor Hawkins. The Foo Fighters have steadily become one of my favorite bands. Imagine you’re a drummer. And then the BEST drummer on the PLANET asks you to join his band. What a life.

I was fortunate enough to see them live in LA a few ago years and it was amazing.

3 games in 4 days. Only 7 home games left in April. Can’t believe the season’s almost already over.

The new job’s got me stretching my skill set. In addition to a couple of postcards and T-Shirts I’m also designing posters. Figured I’d get Dusty and the team to sign one of each for me to keep. The design is minimal, but I’m really happy with how it turned out. This was for our “El Lazo” game on 1/28. We gave out 2,000 of these to the first fans through doors.

When I got my Pelican case at work, we didn’t have any stickers big enough to tag it with. So I reached out to my old boss at and in classic Bryar fashion, he took care of us. Big thanks to the crew in Valencia!

One of our photographers snapped a pic of me at our last game. We had a group of Boy Scouts come on the ice post-game and each got to take a shot at a goal. It was fun to watch!

So, I’m not usually one for selfies but today was different. I took Jersey up to Sentinel Peak here in Tucson. Flew the drone up to grab some shots for upcoming Roadrunners Commercials. Lots of “new” lately. New condo, new job, new car. A stark difference from the last couple years.

Life can change at any moment, so I’m enjoying this one. I wanted to thank my parents and all my friends who’ve helped me through the down times. A year ago I had no idea what the future had in store for me. Today, I’m excited and can’t wait for what it’s sending my way.
