Brian always knew he wanted to serve in the military from a young age. He was stationed on the USS O’Kane and the USS Theodore Roosevelt, and as an officer he held various responsibilities, including work in the Nuclear Propulsion program. Today, he serves on the committee that plans St. Mary Catholic School’s annual Memorial Day remembrance service, and he also volunteers at church as a member of the Knights of Columbus and as a youth sports coach.
