Brian Storm grew up in Philadelphia, PA, where he discovered a passion for writing at an early age. However, a drug addiction took priority over Brian’s life, as he sold drugs to support his habit. Eventually Brian turned his life around with the help of a 12-step program. The 12-step program helped him to discover a passion for helping other alcoholics and addicts. This passion led Brian to write his memoir, “the Struggle,” to share his experience, strength, and hope with others. Years later, Brian pursued a career at the Free Library of Philadelphia. He then went back to school and obtained his Associate of Arts Degree.
