Brian A. Ask

Brian Ask was born in South Dakota in 1969 and immediately hit the road. He survived twelve schools in twelve years, attended four different universities - including a year abroad at The American University in Cairo - and somehow managed to avoid graduating from all of them. For four decades, he lived as a nomad, never spending more than two years in any one city, leaving his mark on Fargo, Minneapolis, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and everywhere in between.

Professionally, he carved out a career as a Chaos Commander in many industries, including the relentless, high-stakes event production industry. He has worked at major venues like The MGM Grand in Las Vegas, as-well-as humble establishments like Grandma’s in Fargo. Equipped with a Midwest work ethic and an abrasive edge, he successfully orchestrated massive corporate events while managing to piss off a whole bunch of people along the way.

Having left the corporate grind behind, he is now focused on his writing through Stinky Tofu Publishing. He is finally rooted in one place, sharing his life with a great wife and an amazing dog named Tofu. He spends his free time immersed in culinary arts, writing, and listening to classic rock and blues.
