Brian Ward

Brian Ward was born in Hickory, North Carolina. An "Army brat," Ward moved several times throughout his childhood to states including Tennessee, back to North Carolina and Virginia before finally moving to attend college at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina from 1995-99.

Despite a decent span as a child actor, throughout the majority of his youth, Ward always anticipated a career as a comic book artist.

In college, Ward was reacquainted with his old childhood friend Frank Mohler and it was a friendship that would eventually turn into a long working relationship.

Their partnership has paid off, earning Ward several award nominations for his work as a DVD/Blu-ray producer and a win for Home Media Magazine's 2009 "Best TV Animation DVD" award for the "Transformers: The Complete Series - Matrix of Leadership Edition."

When he's not at work producing DVDs, however, Ward still writes and directs his own short films, including several for the Los Angeles 48 Hour Film Project, and has completed work on two feature-length screenplays for his own production company, Slushpile Entertainment.
