Brian was born in Massachusetts but raised in the Nashua area. After graduating with a degree in English from UNH-Manchester and getting married, he then went wherever his enlisted wife went, traveling to exotic duty stations like Augusta, Georgia and Fort Drum, New York. They returned to New England together to raise their daughter, Samantha where Brian worked in retail operations and other areas of industry that had nothing whatsoever to do with his degree. After Brian returned to Jesus about a decade ago, the entire family has been attending the Downtown campus with everyone involved from KidsWay to the tech booth to the Thanksgiving fellowships and more.
