Brian lived on a farm near Solen until he was 14, where he attended Solen and Cannon Ball Elementary and Middle School. During those years, he was active as a mass server in the Catholic Church, always ready to volunteer to serve, thus he had the opportunity to serve at his grandparents' golden anniversary and other special occasions.

In 1981, he moved to Mandan with his family and attended Mandan High School and was active in the FFA. During this time, he enjoyed spending time with his friends and riding motorcycle. Brian had been employed at Mandan Supply.
