Brian grew up in East Troy, attending East Troy High School. He then went onto attend college at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville.
Brian proudly served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War from 1963-65, and was stationed in Germany during that time. Following his military service, he was employed by Schlitz Vinyl and Carpet and Ketters Flooring for 40 years.
He was an extremely active person and loved many outdoor activities, including rock climbing, skiing, and bicycling. For more than 50 years, he was on the Alpine Valley Ski Patrol. At the age of 67, he completed one of his biggest achievements by riding his bicycle to New York from Wisconsin.
