Brian's Story
Life
Met my sweetheart Janna in Vernal, Utah in march of 1983 and were married in August of that same year. She is an RN of 25 years. We have 6 children although we sadly lost our oldest son Tommy to Duchennes Muscular Dystrophy in January of 2001. He would have been 19 this year. Our other children are unaffected by the disease and they are normal and ornery as they come. We have 3 boys and 2 girls now.
I still play guitar (I have 10 of them now along with a wall of amps) very loudly and I have been in a few bands in Arizona, Utah and Idaho.
I am very religeous and am also pursuing my BS in Elementary Education at the University of Wyoming at Casper College.
Casper is a great place to live. Mountains, lakes, fishing, hunting, and not very many people. I lived in Phoenix for several years but moved away after a child was kidnapped from our apartment complex. I like to try to hook up with people I knew as a kid and see how things turned...Expand for more
out for them. I am really nothing like I was in high school (thank God). Hope everyone is okay.
College
I did not go back to school until I was 41, 7 years sooner than my dad. I guess some people take that long to figure out what they want to do. I had my fill on nowhere jobs and I am a socialite so Elementary Education was a natural choice for me. My kids think it is pretty fun to see me struggle but they always want me to help them with teir homework. I love the little learners. I love to see them light up when they "get it". That is a pay-off I will be able to have many many times as I start this new adventure.
Workplace
