About Brian Focarino

Hi – I’m Brian.

William & Mary & Me, us three go way back. At least to my wide-eyed days in 2007. I graduated from William & Mary in 2011 with my Bachelor’s in Linguistics and Government. My older posts will give you a taste of what took up most of my time in those days. The Tribe is, and has been, my family for a number of years now.

After graduation, I lived in Edinburgh, Scotland, where I went to graduate school at the University of Edinburgh and got my Master’s in English language and applied linguistics. I worked in the Scottish Parliament while living abroad, and loved getting to be a part of the Scottish Nationalism movement. Few can probably claim kilts were ever a part of their day-to-day routine.

In 2012, I was back at William & Mary for law school because for this next step in my life, I didn’t really have to choose the College.

It’d already chosen me.

Whether it’s from my posts as an underclassman, a nostalgic senior, an alumni an ocean away, or a graduate student, you’ll learn soon enough:

William & Mary is a class of one.
