Brian was born and raised in Teulon. As the youngest member of his family Brian had his parents and six older siblings who served as his role models which inspired his strong work ethic and integrity. Brian married the love of his life Barb Hamaberg on March 21, 1981. They resided in Winnipeg where Brian attended Red River Community College and received his Business Administration Diploma with honours in1983. Brian and Barb moved to Alberta to work in the oil industry and brought their two sons into the world. In 1987, they moved back to Teulon as they missed their small town and family. In 1988 their daughter was born in Teulon.

Brian worked very hard at his career and obtained his APICS certificate. He worked for a number of manufacturing companies that allowed his career to grow and experienced a variety of business opportunities and travels. He dealt with many people during his career with whom he developed strong business and personal relationships. As Brian mostly worked in Winnipeg he put a lot of miles on his vehicles commuting and knew the number seven highway like the back of his hand. Brian would often make it in to Winnipeg for work through the worst of Manitoba's winter weather only to find that his Winnipeg co-workers were unable to make it in.

Brian was a family man through and through. Nothing brought Brian more joy than his family and home. Brian was a dedicated husband, father, son, and brother. His kids were his pride and joy. He wanted his family to be happy. All three of his children attended and received their university degrees. Brian was extremely proud to help them reach their goals. Five years ago his granddaughter Madison was born and she brought him so much joy.

Brian also enjoyed working on his yard and garden. He spent numerous hours on his lawnmower either in his yard or his Mom's. Brian also attended every event he could for his kids whether it be hockey, baseball, ballet, figure skating, gymnastics and 4-H and school sports.

Brian became a volunteer for the community throughout his son's minor hockey years. He was a Dad first then their coach and/or manager for his son's teams. Brian was vice-president and referee in chief on the Minor hockey executive for many years. As he curled in the most recent years he also volunteered as Bar Manager for the curling club. Brian enjoyed bike riding, golf, family gatherings, and travelling. As an avid sports fan he followed and attended the Jets, Bombers, and Goldeyes games. On his travels he attended a Blue Jays game, WHL hockey in Victoria, and the PGA Golf Championship in Springfield.
