Sirius Flak, Founder & Senior Editor

Sirius cut his teeth writing for prestigious publications like The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal. Not those publications specifically, but publications like them.

Sirius and his family moved from the City of Richmond to Brandermill in 2019 because they wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and to take advantage of the high quality public schools.

After struggling to locate reliable, first-rate news sources in the neighborhood, Sirius founded The Brandermill Beacon in 2021. His mission is to bring you serious stories about serious topics in a serious tone. Seriously.
