I have known and worked with Brian for several years while at Lockheed Martin. He was a first class friend / person and top notch program manager. He treated everyone with such respect no matter what position they held and was given the most difficult tasks / programs due to his ability. He always talked so highly of his family.

I remember Brian playing baseball with my brother, Doug Krogen. We also shared the horrors of French class! My sympathy and condolences to his family. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
