Brian was born on April 16, 1958, in Cleveland, Ohio. He is a 1976 graduate of Euclid High School and continued his education at Lakeland Community College and Lake Erie College. After graduating, he started his career in Business Management and Engineering while working at Radix Wire Company for 36 years, before moving on to various leadership roles for other companies. An avid outdoorsman, Brian could be found fishing, hunting, boating and beekeeping. His most cherished time was the time he spent with his family, especially his grandchildren.

Brian passed away March 29, 2025 after a courageous battle against leukemia and will be missed by those who had the privilege of knowing him.
