The AIP no longer exists. At its peak in 1999 it was the biggest and best networking and professional development group for Internet professionals. It had a very robust presence online at association.org.

Brian's role was to sell corporate memberships, manage the corporate members relationship with the organization and promote mutually beneficial opportunities between the corporate members and the individual professional members.

Brian was very active in the San Francisco and Silicon Valley AIP chapters. He helped organize the annual AIP CEO reception at the Internet World trade show and produced the legendary Geekapalooza parties in San Francisco.
