Christopher Michael Brick (June 21, 1974 – February 8, 2016) was an American journalist and songwriter. He worked as a freelance writer and as a writer for The New York Times. Brick was working for the Houston Chronicle at the time of his death from cancer. BiographyBorn in Cheverly, Maryland, Brick moved to Dallas as a teenager. He graduated from R. L. Turner High School in Carrollton and the University of Texas at Austin.[1] Brick worked as a research assistant for Kurt Eichenwald on the book The Informant. "Pretty soon, not only was he doing everything exceptionally, but I began to recognize his writing skills, which I hadn't been paying attention to. By the time he was finished working with me, it became clear to me that on a lot of levels he was better than me," Eichenwald said.[1] Brick was on the staff of The New York Times from 2001 to 2008. He covered events including the Enron scandal and Hurricane Katrina with The New York Times.[1] He became a freelance writer in 2008.[2] In 2013 and 2014, he was an adviser for The Daily Texan, the student newspaper for which he had written when he attended UT Austin.[3] He joined the Houston Chronicle in 2014, and published a column known as The Sporting Life.[1] Brick's 2012 book, Saving the School: The True Story of a Principal, a Teacher, a Coach, a Bunch of Kids, and a Year in the Crosshairs of Education Reform, told the story of the struggling Reagan High School in Austin, Texas.[4] Brick followed several teachers, a number of students, and the principal of the school as he was writing the book.[5] Patrick Welsh of The Washington Post said that the book "is a compelling, enlightening account of a school community rising to save itself."[6] Brick wrote music and played guitar and mandolin. In college, he formed a band known as Bottle of Smoke, and later in Brooklyn, he started another band in Brooklyn called The Music Grinders.[1] He died of colon cancer in 2016.[7] He was survived by his wife and three children.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|last1=Schiller|first1=Dane|title=Michael Brick, songwriter and journalist, remembered|url=http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/texas/article/Michael-Brick-6815603.php|publisher=Houston Chronicle|accessdate=March 29, 2016|date=February 9, 2016}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Brick, Michael}}2. ^{{cite web|title=In memoriam|url=http://moody.utexas.edu/features/memoriam|publisher=University of Texas at Austin|accessdate=March 29, 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|last1=Zhang|first1=Amy|title=Former Texan adviser Michael Brick dies at age 41|url=http://www.dailytexanonline.com/2016/02/09/former-texan-adviser-michael-brick-dies-at-age-41|publisher=The Daily Texan|accessdate=March 29, 2016|date=February 9, 2016}} 4. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|last1=Whittaker |first1=Richard |title=Education reporter Michael Brick dead |url=http://www.austinchronicle.com/daily/arts/2016-02-08/education-reporter-michael-brick-dead/ |publisher=The Austin Chronicle |accessdate=March 29, 2016 |date=February 8, 2016 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160320053554/http://www.austinchronicle.com/daily/arts/2016-02-08/education-reporter-michael-brick-dead/ |archivedate=March 20, 2016 |df= }} 5. ^{{cite news|last1=Mooney|first1=Michael J.|title=Local author writes book that could change American education forever|url=http://frontburner.dmagazine.com/2012/08/30/local-author-writes-book-that-could-change-american-education-forever/|work=D Magazine|date=August 30, 2012|accessdate=March 29, 2016}} 6. ^{{cite news|last1=Welsh|first1=Patrick|title="Saving the School: The True Story of a Principal, a Teacher, a Coach, a Bunch of Kids and a Year in the Crosshairs of Education Reform" by Michael Brick|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/saving-the-school-the-true-story-of-a-principal-a-teacher-a-coach-a-bunch-of-kids-and-a-year-in-the-crosshairs-of-education-reform-by-michael-brick/2012/08/24/346d4b6e-eadb-11e1-a80b-9f898562d010_story.html|accessdate=March 29, 2016|work=The Washington Post|date=August 24, 2012}} 7. ^{{cite news|last1=Slotnik|first1=Daniel|title=Michael Brick, former Times reporter, dies at 41|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/09/business/media/michael-brick-former-times-reporter-dies-at-41.html|accessdate=March 29, 2016|work=The New York Times|date=February 8, 2016}} 6 : American male songwriters|1974 births|2016 deaths|Deaths from colorectal cancer|The New York Times writers|Houston Chronicle people |
