Brian is an extremely avid sports and travel enthusiast. Although he was born and raised in Omaha, NE, an opportunity to move to Colorado presented itself in 2019, and Brian never looked back! When not catching a sports game, traveling the States, or cruising abroad, he can be found chasing the “Rocky Mountain High” (thanks John Denver) exploring the mountains, reservoirs, back roads not-yet-traveled, fishing, kayaking, hiking, and just enjoying the great outdoors. He’s passionate about animals and has a menagerie of pets – a beagle, 2 Bengals, and a bearded dragon. With over 3 years of experience in the logistics industry, Brian enjoys the logical analysis, dynamic environment, and challenge that’s required to execute a successful job completion.
