In episode 003 of The Dirt Buzz, I finally got my act together and figured out how to record show guests, so I asked my good friend Brian Elliott to come on as my first guest. I’ve known Brian since 2006 when we met while working together at Carl’s Cycle Sales in Boise, and we’ve been friends ever since.
Brian lives in Helena, Montana, with his wife, two kids, and a dog named Bob, where he works for SOVRN creative agency. He also helps Randy Hawkins and the AmPro Yamaha Factory Offroad Team with PR and other marketing. Get to know Brian Elliott as we randomly ramble about our friendship, the powersports industry, old EnduroCross memories, and what it’s like to lose his social media accounts.
Thanks for listening! Get out and enjoy life on two wheels, listen to great music, be kind to each other, and Keep the Buzz Rolling.
