Brian grew up in Bend, OR and moved to Jackson in 2004 after graduating from Oregon State University. His move to the bigger mountains of Wyoming gave him an ultimate new playground for alpine climbing and backcountry snowboarding.

After years of no formal gym training, he started training at Wright Training as well as Mountain Athlete in 2010.

Brian has seen the effects of sport specific training in his own mountain adventures and expeditions and is eager to learn more and help to coach others on the path to strength and performance in the mountains or in daily life.
