Brian's Story
I was born on the south side of Chicago, and moved to Skokie Ill. at age 4.Went through school in Skokie. Edison ,Madison, Lincoln Jr. High,and Niles West High School,Have many good memories of growing up in Skokie. My mother was sick with cancer, and our family moved to Treasure Island Florida in 1967.Had a good time at school & living near the beach.Played lead guitar in a band & we had many gigs around town.I remember once, we opened up for the Blues Magoos at the National Guard Armory.I joined the track team at Boca Ciega & tied the school record for the half mile with a time of 1:59 at practice,but for some reason which I regret now, quit the team & got a job washing dishes at the Big Boy restaurant. I finished High School in Gulfport Fl. at Boca Ceiga High School.My mother died in Feb. 1969 ...Expand for more
during my senior year.I felt empty & began searching for something to fill the void.I moved back to Chicago the day after graduation.Then back and forth between Chicago and St. Petersburg every few months.During that time I got very involved in drugs for about a year and a half.
After many events,back in Florida I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior.

At age 22 I got married to my wife Jeannie. We have been married 45 years,and have 8 children.Now ages 19 through 42.We have 29 Grandchildren and 3 on the way.Life has been good & always busy, never a dull moment.
