About Me

Brian Keith Gamble; PhD.

Greetings! My name is Brian K. Gamble. I have B.S., M.S., & PhD. degrees in physics respectively from The Citadel: The Military College of South Carolina, North Carolina State University, and Clemson University.

I have been teaching physics at the college and University level for over 22 years, with few of those years as a high school math teacher. Currently I am in my third year as the physics professor at Los Angeles Southwest College. After a long hiatus physics has returned to LA Southwest College. I am extremely excited to be charged with rebuilding the physics program here at LASC.

I'm best reached through email at: gamblebk@laacd.edu. During COVID-19 quarantine this is the most efficient way to contact me.  

I love music & acting. I am a singer/songwriter and a sonneteer. I have enjoyed modest success as an actor, but recently I have stepped away from Hollywood to become more involved in the community. I look forward to meeting and working with you all!

Hey here is an acting reel with excerpts of my work. Have you seen any of these films?
