Brian Rouff was born in Detroit, raised in Southern California and has lived in Las Vegas since 1981, which makes him a long-timer by local standards. A 1977 UCLA graduate with a degree in Communication Studies and a minor in Journalism, Brian has spent his entire professional career in media and advertising. In 1987, he founded his own marketing firm, servicing clients in such diverse fields as hospitality, computer consulting, and sports information. In 2004, he merged his company with Imagine Marketing and now serves as managing partner.
Brian is also a professional public speaker, having facilitated hundreds of advertising and marketing workshops during his 30-year career. Recently, he has become a regular contributor to www.living-las-vegas.com.
In 1999, Brian decided to fulfill a lifelong dream by becoming a novelist. His first book, “Dice Angel,” is a quirky mystery that gives readers a behind-the-scenes peek at the Las Vegas that exists beyond the Strip.
“I don’t want to sound arrogant,” Brian says, “but few people know this town like I do." Readers agree. Dice Angel is currently the top-rated Las Vegas book on Amazon.com, with a 4.8 average customer rating based on 117 reviews. Brian's second novel, “Money Shot,” is the story of an unhappy middle-aged man who wins a chance at redemption by attempting a million dollar shot during halftime of the NCAA basketball tournament.
On a personal note, Brian is married with two grown daughters and four grandchildren. In his spare time, he enjoys reading, movies, music, sports, and the occasional trip to the casino buffet line.
