Hey! My name is Brian Emory and I'm on Fansided to cover the Houston Texans for Toro Times. I graduated from Appalachian State in 2018 and now work as a middle school social studies teacher. I'm a huge fan of the Appalachian State Mountaineers, Carolina Panthers, Charlotte Hornets, Liverpool FC and the San Diego Padres. In addition to sports, I enjoy coaching, reading, music and CrossFit.
