About The Author

BRIAN MCGUIRE earned both his undergraduate degree in Molecular Biology and doctorate in Biochemistry from Vanderbilt University. During his career in new drug development, he generated numerous publications and abstracts for technical journals. In 2006 he acquired one of the all-steel houses designed by Donald Wexler in Palm Springs, where he became active in several preservation organizations. Through this, he developed an amateur appreciation for midcentury architecture and design. In 2012, he successfully got his Wexler-designed house listed in the National Register of Historic Places, engaging photographer Dan Chavkin for the application. McGuire currently lives in the Santa Rosa Valley area of Ventura County, California, and is also a part-time resident of Kansas City, where he grew up an avid Star Trek fan.
