Brian D. Oakes joined the Sea Hawkers web team in 2002 as their Creative Director. He is responsible for the overall graphic look and content of Seahawkers.org.

As a Seahawks fan since 1985, growing up in New York has made it a long distance love affair for Brian to not only follow, but remain passionate about the Seahawks.

"Since my first live Seahawks game in October, 2001 it has been an amazing roller coaster ride that keeps getting better each year. I have been fortunate and lucky enough to have some extremely lucky experiences that as a kid growing up in New York, I could only dream about!"

Brian's Top 10 Seahawks Experiences
10.   Working with the Corporate Sales Team, creating the design materials for their Stadium Naming Rights Presentations.
9.   Both games in San Diego (2001, 2002) where we won on a Field Goal both times. It was great to see my friend and big sister Dana from San Diego and the rest of the California Sea Hawkers, including Martha.
8.   Partying in St. Louis with the Mid West Sea Hawkers. Having a chance to meet Pete Flores and Marty Black and see how much work they put in to planning their Tail Gate, and attracted so many Mid West Members, was truly impressive.
7.   Going with SeahawkSal down on the field for pre game against the 49ers 2003 game.
6.   Inaugural Game Weekend at Seahawks Stadium vs. Arizona Cardinals - September 2002. Such an amazing weekend, getting to meet the Sea Gals, Blitz and the feeling we all got when the Fighter Jets flew right over the field sized American Flag lives in my memory forever.
5.   Going to Seahawks Headquarters for the first time with SeahawkSal, meeting Mike Flood and getting to watch the team practice before the first home game of the season.
4.   Being able to go down on the field of Seahawks Stadium for the first time to see my good friend Neil "Kiltman" Hart receive his induction into the Visa Hall Of Fame for Fans.
3.   Seeing my designs on the Seahawks.com website, available for Seahawks fans everyway to download as desktop wallpapers.
The designs can be found at: http://www.seahawks.com/downloads.aspx
2.    Being the Master Of Ceremonies for the Sea Hawkers 2004 Awards Banquet. Being able to present Traci Williams with her Sea Hawker Of The Year Award was a real honor, and also having the chance to Q&A with my friends Kiara & Sarah.
1.   My first trip to Seattle in October 2001. Accidentally meeting the "family" members of the website SeahawkSal.com at the old Seahawks Pro Shop. This chance meeting completely changed my life and was the initial spark that opened up so many doors and provided every Seahawks opportunity that I have been fortunate to experience since.
