Brian joined our staff just before KOMO Newsradio was born in September 2002. He began his KOMO career as a reporter and anchor, and then served for nearly three years as the station's News Director.

Today, you'll find him back behind the microphone anchoring the news weekday afternoons. Brian is happy to be back to his roots as a storyteller. His writing and storytelling abilities have won a handful of honors, including a National Edward R. Murrow award.

His roots in radio run back to the late 1980's, as a high school student in southern Oregon. Local broadcast legend Jim Wilson taught him the ropes in Brian's hometown of Grants Pass. He spent eight years at KAJO, working first as a station copywriter, to eventually hosting the morning program. From there, Brian was recruited to KXL in Portland to host an evening talk show, and then anchor the station's morning news for nearly four years. In 2001, he migrated farther north to Seattle, where he spent some time at KIRO before being asked to join the KOMO Newsradio team.

If Brian's face is familiar, he also works on KOMO 4 News as an anchor and member of the KOMO 4cast team.

When he's not on the radio or TV, Brian enjoys getting outdoors and taking in the area's scenic beauty. He likes to hike, camp, and ride his motorcycle. In the community, he serves on the board of directors for Northwest Harvest, and volunteers at the Seattle Humane Society. He also enjoys spending time in local classrooms, talking to students of all ages about storytelling, and how radio works.

Brian also enjoys networking online with listeners, viewers, and peers, through his blog and website www.briancalvertonline.com
