Brian Revennaugh

Brian Revennaugh bought his first aquarium at age seven at a local dime store. The aquarium leaked and was returned to the store the same day. He proudly set up his new tank with gravel, box filter, and fish. The next day, all his fish were dead. This event set in motion his desire to learn more about fish keeping. After visiting his local library, he learned about things such as dechlorinator, heaters, and the nitrogen cycle. He had discovered that the art of keeping fish was all about knowledge. Since then, the aquarium hobby has proved to be a continuous learning experience. His interest in aquarium plants started with his observation of them in a nearby creek.
He eventually started collecting them and placing them in his tanks where he soon discovered that aquatic plants can harbor a fascinating array of aquatic life. This fascination of living creatures continues to this day.

Brian graduated from the University of Georgia with a B.S. in Biology. After graduation, he began his employment at Emory University’s School of Medicine where he worked as a research scientist for five years. He has been working for Emory University’s School of Medicine for the past thirteen years. He is currently a Senior Technical Project Manager for the Department of Pharmacology and Emory’s Chemical-Biology Discovery Center. Brian resides in Kennesaw, Georgia with his wife Robin and their two sons, Ramsay, age seven, and Preston, age six.
