Billy Brush hails from Richmond, VA. On a cross-country trip in the summer of 1996, he was drawn to the splendor of the northwest and settled in Seattle that fall. He started a career in audio engineering in 1999 which ultimately led to a job writing dad jokes for the household robot, Alexa. Billy and his wife purchased a home on the Coyle in 2005, knowing that someday it would be their "forever home". Eighteen years later, they moved to the Coyle full time. Since then, Billy has been an active volunteer at the Coyle Food Bank and Station 22 and started a position as Office Assistant with QFR in February 2025.
