iBlackKnighti Brian
Brian was born and currently resides on the southside of Chicago, illinois, in an area called Hyde Park. Hyde Park is one of Chicago's most racially diverse neighborhoods and is located on the shore of Lake Michigan seven miles south of the Chicago Loop. Traffic has to be a bitch for Brian when our Commander in Chief Barack Obama visits home, they are practically neighbors.

He has a B.A. in Liberal Arts and Science from University of Illinois Urban-Champaign, and he is presently working on a B.A. in Multimedia Design at Devry.
Brian worked in the education industry for nine years teaching and administrative.He has been on a medical leave of absence for almost a year after suffering a neck injury.
Brian is single and has never been married. His dream girl? "A perfect woman is a unicorn- good luck finding that. Just someone who compliments me. Someone with a sense of humor. She's got to be able to cook a couple meals. She doesn't have to be Chef Boyardee but we should be able to split the cooking. Someone who is clean. I could take a clean woman over a cook any day." (Brian is a Libra).
Brian has a fear of heights, flying, and women with hairy nipples and legs. Humor, honesty, and his problem solving skills are his strengths. Math, women with big boobs, and nice calf muscles are his weakness. << explains the never been married thing.
Besides IMVU Brian also plays PS3 GTA 5 and Skyrim League of Legends. He started playing IMVU eight months ago. He spends the majority of his time here chilling with friends or cutting tunes. Check his catty, he cuts perfectly. He chose the name Black Knight because "Black Knight was a bad mofo in the story of Camelot and King Arthur and his knights. I was really into those stories as a kid. My father and I used to watch all those old movies of knights and wizardry. My favorite knight was actually Gawain the Green Knight because green is my favorite color, but the Green Knight doesn't sound bad ass lol."

Growing up his mother was the main supporter of the family because his dad is a disabled veteran from Vietnam. His dad was an alcoholic when Brian was growing up which made it hard on Brian and his younger sister.
Brian is African American, but has Native American and white heritage as well.
I asked Brian if he could change one thing about the world what would it be, even though I already knew what his answer would be. Racism. Then I played devil's advocate and baited him into an in-depth conversation about the sensitive topic. While my beliefs are parallel to his, I'll never be a black
man from Chicago, and never fully understand what it would be like to walk in his shoes. He did say one thing that hit home with me, I say it all the time.... EVERYONE is a little bit racist.
On a HIGH note Brian and his friend were referred to as Cheech and Chong by his dean in College. hmmmmm......I wonder why? I'm also wondering if Brian was Cheech or Chong. All that income from cutting tunes might go "UP IN SMOKE" \ [cheechandchong.com]
Brian also has a cat named Caesar named after the ape in Planet of the Apes.
In the near future Brian hopes to be working as an animator for some film or game company, have a family and possibly be living somewhere warm. I guess he never heard the saying, "if you don't like the weather in Chicago...wait 15 minutes."
Brian is a laid back guy with an easygoing disposition. He has a great sense of humor and is really a true friend. He fits in all crowds with ease. I don't think I have ever seen him angry or say an ill spoken word about anybody. I'm glad he's on our team, it's an honor.
