Brian was born in Consort, AB, and was raised on a farm in Big Valley, AB as the oldest of five siblings.

Throughout his career, the family moved to various locations around Alberta, where they created many lifelong friendships along the way. In 1992 they transferred to Bonnyville, AB, where Brian continued to work until his retirement in 2008.
After Brian’s retirement, he and Linda enjoyed their summer months at their home on Moose Lake and their winter months in the Arizona sunshine, and in 2020 they moved to Lacombe, AB. Brian enjoyed golfing, curling, boating, travel, and spending quality time with family and friends.
