Brian's Story
After moving to Illinois after 1st semester Senior year (I know I'm not a true Wolfson Grad but be kind) I went to the University of Illinois where I was kicked out a couple times (time spent in bars does not meet the requirement for attendance apparently). I learned to DJ at clubs but not much about engineering so I was given my unconditional release in 1990. Foundering I decided to work at Walt Disney World were I was a reservationist answering telephones for about 8mo before deciding to return to college. I finally earned my BS in Computer Engineering in 1994 from a small engineering school (MSOE).
I found my future wife, Tina, in 1990 while working at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, IL where she was dating a friend of mine. All being fair in love and war she went for the head fake and we married in 1995. I have thr...Expand for more
ee beautiful daughters (Katya 10, Tatianna 8, and Kirsten 6) and a son (Braedon 2). I enjoy every minute of being a father, which comes easy being the same maturity as my children.
My first job was as a Powertrain Engineer with GM where I got to work with Penske Racing (IndyCar) and Joe Gibbs Racing (NASCAR) on their engines and transmissions (I was also a certified test driver at the proving ground which was awesome!). But the hours were too many for a family and I was being pressured to travel 36 weekends out of the year. So I changed jobs and after moving my family five times in five years we finally settled in Charlotte, NC in 2000 and I settled on consulting as a career.
I am still a rabid racing fan, disney afficianado, Vegas junkie, and girl scout powder puff derby engineer (like the pinewood derby but for Girl Scouts).
